Not recognizing extra ram I installed a 2 gig stick of crucial ram, but it still only recognizes 1 gig. I am not having any other problems with the netbook, no crashes or anything else that would indicate faulty ram. I also know for sure that the ram is correct for use in this netbook. I haven't upgraded to Windows 7 home premium. Is there a ram cap on starter? I can't think of what else it may be. I don't want to upgrade only to find it still doesn't recognize the extra gig.

On startup press f2 key to go into bios. There you should see the full 2 gig of ram is recognized. Then press the F10 key to accept and the full 2 gig of ram should be recognized. But beware - you may have trouble shutting down or restarting when on battery power. See other discussions.

Hey,I'm guessing that you can. My laptop came with 1GB of RAM, two 512MB chips. When I got this I took out one of the 512MB chips and put the 2GB one in its place, so my laptop currently has 2.5GB of RAM. Did that a few months ago and I've had no issues at all so far. If you can put a 2GB chip in one then you would be able to put one in the other slot as well. A 32-bit system won't recognize more than 4GB of RAM anyway so yh, I think you can put two in. I'm planning on getting another one soon to give my system 4GB. :) Hope that answers your question...and I hope I wasn't too long Hey,I'm guessing that you can.

Hey Brad, I recently upgraded my RAM using this stick G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory (F3-1600C9S-8GRSL) ... Worked perfect for me. Haven't experienced any compatibility issues!

Does anyone worry about buying netbooks and this computer and Microsoft ending support for XP like they eventually did for Windows 98 ? I would want 2GB of RAM if I ever had to install Vista...

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. I wrote the following in my review of the 1000HE netbook. Did you follow all these steps?

Just got one of these too and swapped out the RAM. Exact same problem that you guys are talking about. It only seems to shut down completely with the original stick that came with the netbook. I've been trying every single configuration option for the last 5 hours, and nothing seems to work. Please let me know if you hear of any solution out there.

I have egirl..i have a 1005PE-PU and i installed the 667hz 2GB crucial ram...it is easily installed, works fine and is instantly recognized. My only problem is that the windows 7 starter is hanging up upon shutdown...leaves the blue light on the on off switch ON with the fan/harddrive running...i am wondering if the ram change had ANYTHING to do with this...the unit is brand new...have written asus AND microsoft for a hotfix or SOME solution...ring any bell with you?

not true. I have a dell mini 10 inch netbook 1 gb memory and it buffers and the quality is awful. it stops and starts, not a smooth picture so you should be careful about answering this question with such conviction. it depends on what netbook and how much power it has

Sorry, I can't help. I put it in a Compaq with no trouble. There are programs out there that can id your memory, and if you go to Crucial.com, it will let you know what kind of memory you have. You could also check with Acer which should probably tell you what kind of memory is needed.

Tested? I don't know. I did order it based on comments in another thread. The netbook has shipped. I haven't received a shipping confirmation on the memory yet. There are comments elsewhere on Amazon about people using the faster memory without any trouble. I am more likely to leave comments in these discussion threads than write a review after I've used the netbook some.

Hey, I have a Asus 1015PED and I have done some research and this will work. Have I acctually installed it, no. It is on it's way to me though and I will keep you up to date.The info on the Asus Netbook is DDR3, so, it will work. But there is only one slot, so we'll have to remove to 1gig in there now, and replace it with this 2gig.I will let you know when I get mine to confirm it works, but with all the research I've done, I am 100% sure it will work. I wouldn't have bought the netbook or the memory if I was even 1% unsure.Hope that helps.

For some reason Crucial and Kingston just wouldn't narrow it down for me when I tried a few months ago. Never had that happen before, seems to be running fine now. I had a look at my old order from Amazon and it is identical to the 390 ram that is listed. Your only other question would be how much ram can your computer take. I have the Mini Tower (the large one) and it is maxed at 8 gigs of ram, 4 gigs per bank. Mine only had two gigs in it and I wanted to max it out. I don't remember what the other models are maxed at. I had to do a lot of online looking to find all this out as I was also looking for an updated video card so things get a little blurry.

don't know. do a Google search asking question of minimum requirements for one gig ram and specific processor of your netbook. A bigger operating system may gain you very little in terms of benefits and slow down system.

I used it on my netbook 32bit 1gb ram and it worked no problem however be warned the install takes a loooong time. Also I'd suggest getting a 4gb stick while your at it since you cannot have more than 4 gb with this upgrade. the difference for me was day and night
