    it's got one RAM slot, and i think you need DDR2 667mhz RAM (SO-DIMM, naturally). so you should be good.

    No, just one slot. You can take out the supplied 1GB ram stick and replace it with a 2GB stick. My 901 has one stick of 2GB OCZ DDR2-800 ram.

    It can only use 1GB of RAM. Even if you stick a 2GB stick in there, it will only recognize 1GB.

    That is not true. My XP EEE 901 has 2GB of DDR2-800 ram, and XP recognizes it fine. Rapion125 may be thinking of the Poulsbo chipset which allows only 1GB or ram, but no EEE's use that, so they can all use 2GB.

    go into the BIOS, and ensure it shows 2GB there, then you should be good to go, the OS should see 2GB after as well.
