YES! My students love this computer there are hundreds of free programs using Linix! Perfect for students!

I was looking at this model at Microcenter today and I assume it has the same specs. It has 4 memory slots and 2 are taken with 2 4gb sticks, so you should be able to add two more to give a total of 16gb.

It's not unusual for Amazon to list incorrect specs for things like this. It is usual for NewEgg to do so. They also have 32-bit Windows listed. It's not that I don't believe Adam. I just wanted to verify.

Thanks for the tip. It's partly a psychological pricing thing for me... if the Eee get's much over $400, I start wondering if I should be buying a regular laptop.I realize that it's somewhat an "apple and oranges" thing but still...I will definitely be running Linux and just the bundled software. I want it for school and maybe a little entertainment -- Music and my collection of DivX videos (if those can play. DO you know?)

I bought the 'ASUS Eee PC 1015PED' and I bought the 'Crucial CT25664BC1067 2GB 204-PIN PC3-8500 SODIMM DDR3' for it and it works perfect.Crucial CT25664BC1067 2GB 204-PIN PC3-8500 SODIMM DDR3 Memory Module

Ivan the Terrible says: I wonder if upgrading RAM to 2GB will increase speed of the operation? How difficult to open up and replace 1GB part with 2GB? It does not have an optic drive. Does any CD/DVD external drive for laptops will work with 1002HA? I would like to install Microsoft Office and also have with me some data while I travel on CD/DVD. What it makes eeebuntu better than XP home? I apologize for some naive questions. Greatly appreciate if somebody replies with comments.

16GB is the maximum ram this computer will take, which is what I put in mine

Yes, it is not a problem, it is very easily accessible. Not sure if the BIOS would support 16 GB though...you have to check that

I don't know because I am running Linux on it. But this motherboard performs way better than 2 other mini-itx boards I bought recently. I wish I had found this board sooner.

You should probably look up the manual.... the 16 GB (if I recall correctly) is not supported, only a maximum of 8 GB.

I purchased the EeePC withthe 4 GBhD with Windows XP installed. I found that the combination of the automatic Windows updates and Antivirus updates rapidly filled the 4GB HD and now the system doesn't operate well despite the fact that i have not installed any program on the HD.No one seems to have an answer at ASUS except turn off the updates. I am not happy with the situation, faced with a hard drive upgrade.Wayne

Hi, I also bought a Asus 1005ha-p from zipzoomfly with a 2g corsair 667 mhz memory. After installing it, it shows only 1 gig physical memory as does the original 1gig. Am I reading something wrong? Why doesn't it show up as 2gig? If someone knows the answer I would apprciate it. I wanted to return it to Zipzoomfly but they are giving me a hard time.

I don't know about that model, but I can say that my Presario would only use 1.4GB. Reason: Win XP in 16-bit version can't address all 2GB, but 32-bit can. Sys would not run with full 2GB installed.

I'm also looking at this laptop myself. I've been wondering if it will run fine with Linux, and from the input here things are looking good! I'm looking to run Debian, probably the testing branch as it has a little more up-to-date kernel and software, but I'm also considering Arch. That distro is always on the bleeding edge so the most recent software should (hopefully) pick up every piece of hardware on this machine.

Asus ought to listen to their customers about the bloatware and simply stop putting the crap on the pc. Make it available if the person wants it (99.9 percent dont) and otherwise just dont screw with people right out of the box. Ive heard this mentioned so often its ridiculous that they dont consider it in their selling of their machines. Im sure its a common prob though...
