I intend to purchase the ASUS 1000HE, and I want to upgrade to a 2GB memory module. The Crucial module that Amazon pairs with the ASUS 1000HE is 667 Mhz (CT25664AC667). I have seen discussions which argue in favor of the 800 Mhz. Will someone advise me on this. And if you recommend the 800Mhz, will you also tell me which Crucial that would be. And I thank you very much.

More memory means you can run more programs at once without the system getting sluggish (swapping to disk.) A memory upgrade from 1GB to 2GB on this system is a no-brainer, it's cheap and the user-experience benefits are simply worth doing.

Thank you very much. I have discovered that the CT25664AC800, which Amazon lists, is the same module as CT934346, which the Crucial site lists as compatible with the ASUS 1000HE

RE: 800MHz. I was instructed via online chat with crucial to purchase CT25664AC800 which is 800MHz. Even though this memory is capable of running at 800Mhz it should run at slower speeds with no problems. The memory chips could even be the same design and they just sort them by what speed they are 'capable of'.

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.

amazon is not all there when it comes to tech support,but it is totally up to you .if you want to get the most out of you're asus or any pc, then i highly recommend doing the upgrade. besides the upgrade would not harm your pc in any way ,it will only improve it.

I have the computer and the memory, but don't know how to do it. Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere?
1135284
M., I just spoke to ASUS and they do NOT recommend an upgrade to the 1000he. They will not get into Mhz that I can use, just simply state "The 1000he comes with 1GB 667Mhz. We do not recommend you upgrade to 2GB or change the Mhz. ANY upgrades to the system will void it's warrenty."Can you give me any argument on this?

Did you press f2 on restart? Not on initial start but bring it up then do a restart. I know that sounds weird but that is how I got my HE to see the 2GB memory. Hit the f2 key multiple times to get to the BIOS screen. When I installed the 667 mhz memory on my HE the vids were choppy, I replaced it with an 800 mhz and the problem is gone. Maybe I got a bad module, who knows?

I just bought the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PEB-RRE (the brownish red one) and decided to upgrade the ram to 2GB. Order the Crucial CT25664AC800 based on recommendations by other ASUS owners on Amazon. It works!!! The whole process takes less than 10 minutes. I actually spend most of the time figuring how to open the cover. The BIOS setting even auto-detect. I am very happy with both products.

I was wondering the same thing . . . and can you just add a 1GB chip in that additional slot?? We have one arriving today -- so I'll check out the documentation.

Yea I have read in multiple sources that it is 1 RAM slot filled with a 1 gig stick that you remove and replace with the $20 buck 2 gig stick. I'm curious how cheap these 1 gig sticks are going to go for sale for and if there is any thing a computer builder/hacker could do with all the extra EEE 1 gig sticks out there. I'm still curious why they couldn't just cost the extra $20 and come maxed out.

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide. Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round. also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

Did you manage to upgrade the RAM - I am holding on to my purchase for the same. I am comparing betn Aspire One 533 and 1015PED. Aspire one RAM upgrade is as nightmare as it was with eee pc 1008HA. Wondering what's the scene with this one.Please let us know.

I wrote the following in my review of the 1000HE netbook. Did you follow all these steps? It was a breeze to replace the installed 1GB with 2GB -- remove 2 screws, take off cover, push out the two retaining clips on either side of the 1GB module, take out the 1GB module, put in the 2GB module, press down, replace cover and screws, done! Oh, one more thing. As the computer starts to boot up (and I mean right when it starts to power up) hold down the F2 key to bring up the BIOS. Verify that it sees 2GB of RAM. Then hit F10 to save the configuration. Once booted up, check by right-clicking My Computer, Properties.

For those of you interested in the successor model, the Acer Aspire One AO756 with Celeron processor has the same slide-forward, easy-off bottom panel for acces to RAM and hard drive for easy RAM upgrade and HD to SSD conversion. I just purchased the 2gb RAM, 320FB HD edition for $279 from Best Buy and added a second 2gb RAM module - lo and behold I discovered the mobo has 2 RAM slots! Didn't try going beyond 4 Gb though

What model Wind and most important to me....Can the memory and HHD be upgraded as you can with the PC 1000 HE? So far I am sticking with Amazon but its a tempting alternitive to consider a similar unit currently available and in stock.

No, New Egg had this offer a few months ago. Apparently the memory was not compatible with the MB anyway.

Yes, you are missing thing - dual channel mode for the memory access. Just google for "Single memory vs dual channel". You may get in average 10-20% performance boost but if you decide to upgrade kit, you cant simply add new RAM, as both slots are used by kit.

I thought the new ones that come with the 1 GB ram have an easy to access ram "window" on the bottom of the computer case. Is that not right?I've been told the upgrade now is very easy, but would like to confirm that... Just pop the little cover off on the bottom of the case and pop the old card out and snap the new one in. Yes?

Like Mark Nelson I gave up and went back to the original 1gb that came in it.But here is a link from a Amazon review from someone who thinks they found the right memory for the ASUS 1005PERoy Fowler says:http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=hynix+2GB&x;=17&y;=14is the link to Amazon for the RAM stick that is working fine for me...i received it from OEMPCWORLD and altho it says Hynix at Amazon the stick itself says Netlist...either way it works great!

I installed this stick in my 1005ha. System works fine but under systems properties it still shows .99 gb of ram. Can anyone tell me why am I not seeing 2gb?

I just placed my order for the 32 GB and here's why: first of all I knew that 16 wasn't enough memory for me personally so I waited until the next memory upgrade came out. But of course, you don't know how much "stuff" the person you're buying it for will put on there. So think in these terms: with the 32 GB, you're essentially only spending 20% ($100) more for DOUBLE the memory. Economically, you're getting much more bang for your buck with the 32 GB. Hope this helps.

Appreciate your acknowledgement. Since you are looking for a large memory, it would indicate you are an experience PC user. Given this assumption, I would not recommend Acer. They have very limited support: 1. Do not support any customer upgrade - voids warranty. 2. Very limited support policy. 3. No in home service or I can't find any authorized service center in California. 4. After a few days, with an U.S.B. 3.0 drive attached, the system would not boot. Acer tech support declined to offer any help. Eagle3x8.

Hello, from what I understand from specs of web site ASUS it has 4 GB and 1 GB dedicated graphics but also sharing is going on to. I have no problem with this configuration as long as I don't overload system.
