Net book upgrade - memory

I'm contemplating getting a Asus Eee 1000HA net book I no it comes with a gig of memory i think i can later upgrad to 2 gig but i wondering if ther is a 3 or 4 GB upgrad can it only go up to 2?

 

Hi and welcome to the forum!

The 1000HA only has 1 memory slot for a single ram module and can only support up to 2gb.

 

Yep, it can only go to 2GB.

 

I thought so, I was just hoping that someone might know of a way around that, or some way to upgrade that wasn't listed.

Thaks for rth ehelp.

 

Out of curiosity, why would you ever need more than 2GB of RAM in a 1.6GHz netbook running XP?

 

Its not a need its a want. I dont need 8gb ram in my desktop...but i wanted it. Same goes for my laptop, it would be fine with 2gb but 3gb is nicer

 

The words "Vista upgrade" come to mind immediately...

Before anyone bashes, check my sig...the little Atoms actually run Vista quite well...

 

I'd bash the part where they asked about running XP, not Vista though

You really upgraded your netbook though. HDD, RAM, wireless card. Why the 4965 instead of the 5300?

 

Didn't have the ten-ish extra dollars at the time...thinking about buying the 5300, though, and putting this one in the gf's full size...a win-win...

The 4965 was still leaps and bounds over that piece that Acer gave us...Atheros Value line FTL...

Edit: While I was using XP, the memory did allow me some higher multi-tasking flexibility, though...I know it does nothing really for the OS...Vista, on the other hand, is a RAM hungry B***H!!! LOL...did a LOT of tweaking to get it down under 50 percent at idle...A LOT...like two days worth...experimenting with services, performing repair installs (ugh... )...was worth it, though...I am a new Vista convert, after bashing it for two years...only thing I hate is the constant disk-space maintenance, but I don't want to turn off Sys restore, yet...
