Hit F2 until you enter into the BIOS screen. When you first boot the PC keeping hitting F2 until you get there. Check to see if the memory reading is 2048 then hit F10 to save and escape... Let the PC boot normally then go into your Control Panel, click on the "System" icon and then a "Systems Properties" window should show up and under the "General" tab towards the bottom you can confirm that Windows sees your 2 GB of RAM. For some reason...you have to go into your BIOS screen and save and escape to have Windows acknowledge the RAM change. I hope this helps.

Okay, when I look at the System properties, it still says 1 GB. I tried hitting the F2 key while the computer was booting up but nothing happened. How can I get my Eee1000he to recognize the new 2 GB memory card?

The 16gb upgrade is really only a 8gb upgrade that only leaves the machine with a total of 16gb. I wish it was a real up grade to 24gb

It is my understanding that the GBs can be doubled. Meaning if your current factory installed memory is 2.0 GB you can add additional memory in increments of 2GBs.

You need to click on the apple symbol on your computer. Then click "about this Mac", then "more info". Then at the top of this screen "about this mac" there are 4 catagories: overview, displays, storage, and memory. Click on memory and the next screen will tell you how much memory your computer can handle as well as how much is presently installed. As an example mine has 2 slots and each slot can hold up to 2GB of 1067 MHZ DDR3.I bought this and replaced the 1GB that was originally installed in each slot. Basically I upgraded from 2GB to 4GB. It made my computer much faster. Hope this helps. You need to click on the apple symbol on your computer. Then click "about this Mac", then "more info".

I'm also looking for this upgrade but I have a feeling we've been given bad information. I don't see anywhere on the VMware website about a free upgrade for recently purchased product. Only a paid upgrade. Chris L, where is it that you are entering your serial number online?

I used the Kingston web site (Kingston.com). It was very helpful. There's a link on their home page named "Memory Search". Once that page opened, I used the Select System/Device on the lower left of the page to pick the memory for my system. The "About This Mac" option from the Macbook will tell you what memory speed you currently have, i.e. DDR2 or DDR3.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

Go to Crucial Memory Scan. Here is the link: http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/MacOS.aspx If Amazon removes the link you can google to find it. There, you will find a download which will scan your computer and tell you exactly what you need. (I'm not at all a techie and I used this and then upgraded my own RAM - a minor, no a major, miracle!) Also, there are YouTube videos which will show you how to do it. Just type in your computer year and model, and "Upgrade Memory." Good luck.

18004memory.com has a memory configerator that helps but doesn't always tell the whole story. In this case the highest upgrade it offers is a non-ecc 1gb strip. If you try the Crucial site through your web browser sometimes you need to use ie, it can do a live search based of the actual bios version your motherboard has & tell you what will work. Also, for example, windows 32 bit os cannot address 4gb of ram but 64 bit can & so on, so going to a memory site with a configerator is one way to tell.

Thanks so much for finding this post on Youtube. It was really helpful and easy to see how to upgrade the memory.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

I do not know. Go to cnet.com and search for your laptop. It will give you the full specs for it. Look for maximum memory supported (mine was 16 gb) and how many total slots (mine is two). So I bought two. Go to Youtube.com and again search for your laptop plus "memory upgrade" (without the quotes). You should be able to find instructions on how to do the upgrade.

Just installed the 2G memory but computer did not detect the change. How do you enter the BIOS?

No these are two sticks of 1 GB each. so if you 2 GB you might be having the same thing. This will not give any upgrade to you. Also for me one stick didn't work, had to throw it.

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.

I think "yes." I believe this is the model I ordered back when (it's not here at the moment for me to check), but I upgraded the memory. As I recall, though, it comes with 2 Gig hardwired in, and then a 2 Gig expansion memory card. To put new memory in you have to remove the existing expansion card. To upgrade you can only order 4 Gig or 8 Gig, and so the total (with the hardwired 2 Gig) winds up being either 6 Gig or 10 Gig.
