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.

The laptop has 2 ram slots, i just put in mine 2x4gb crucial memories and works like a charm, before i had only the 4 gb original hynix memory in it. Also you have 2 hdd drive bays which is a rare thing into a laptop especially at this price so you can easily put in a ssd drive to speed up the system. @Lemas I don't know what problems are you experiencing but I had 0 problems with it I used windows 8 and i just upgraded to 8.1 without any problems and i am using it for more than 6 months now and is my main work laptop so it runs almost 24h/day.@Rudy yeah having a big touch pad you can easily move the cursor around so i suggest you use a mouse and shutdown the touch using FN+F7 keys.

I bought NB505-N508BL 7 days back. Nice Piece! If you just want to surf internet, check emails, watch movie and listen to music there is no need to upgrade the memory. For better performance one can upgrade the memory to 2gig (DDR3 for new models and DDR2 for older ones). I upgraded to windows 7 pro and 2 gigs memory. My netbook works as good as a laptop. Note: Please don't order memory before you start using the machine, 1 GB DDR3 should be sufficient for basic users.

It was memory for my desktop. I just went to www.crucial.com and the website scanned my computer. It then recommended the correct memory configurations and I chose the 2x2GB=4GB total, even though I have four slots, . Since I have XP Professional, XP only can use a maximum of 3+ GB, and by using only two of the slots, it operates more efficiently. That solved my Blue Screen crashing problem and I haven't had a problem since.

Kuk: I haven't checked the specs, but can tell you that I purchased the Crucial Technology memory referenced in Roy's posting, and it installed/was recognized by the laptop without a problem.

I have been quite happy with my ASUS 1015PED Netbook that I actually never ended up purchasing this memory upgrade. I did shop around a little more and found that this one still is the most recemended. It is a great deal as well, which is why it is usually out of stock.I would recomend this one and I may still get this one. However for right now, I upgraded my ASUS netbook to Windows 7 Professional and it runs great. No need for more memory right now.Sorry I can't be of more help.

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

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?

I solved my own problem. When booting up, I needed to press F2 to enter into the Bios screen. Then I just needed to press F10 to save changes. When the computer booted, it showed 2GB of RAM. I'm happy with this product.

I got the Kingston 1333 MHz , laptop memory it also DDR 3, like the other answer here mine boots up really quick as well and have lots of services running because of this that way I added the extra memory, having couchpotato, sickbeard and recently my own usenet nbz server hosted on the qnap the extra memory is a must. If you order it with prime try to get a replacement or order the Kingston kvr1333d3s8s9/2gGood luck!

The acer you have has a maximum capacity of 2 GB. The computer comes with an "onboard" 512 that is soldered to the MB - and it doesn't look like ordinary ram sticks. Also there is only one Memory slot. If you wish to speed it up, I would add a 1 GB stick of ddr 667 (PC2-5300). If it is still running Vista, get someone to upgrade it to Windows 7 for you, remove all hog software (Norton and McAfee are hogs) use Avast or AVG for virus protection. Hope this helps

Mine came with 8 gigs of ram; two 4 gig sticks. There are 4 slots in this computer, two available. But...don't make the same mistake I made! This unit can handle 32 Gigs of ram, but Windows 7 home edition which is install on this computer can only handle 16 gigs of ram, so i wasted 16 gigs of memory which i installed on my computer. Windows 7 won't recognize the other 16 gigs. i need to upgrade to windows 7 professional, or windows 8

For one mine only has 6GB RAM where as yours has 8GB. The style on the bottom looks different. Yours has a faster harddrive, mine is only 5400RPM whereas yours is 7200RPM. You have Windows 7 whereas mine has Windows 8 but don't let Windows 8 suck you in. I just found out that the manufacturers build the Windows Key Code into the bios so you don't have access to the key code. These are just a few differences I noticed.

I just installed 32gb of this memory in my Lenovo W540 (2 sets of 2x8gb) and it works. Pro-tip: when you start up after installing the RAM nothing will seem to happen (no Lenovo logo). Wait up to a minute before giving up. I swapped ram in and out for half an hour before I heard the POST might take a while with 32gb of new RAM. Sure enough, after about 40 seconds the Lenovo logo appeared and everything went well. Another Pro-tip: make sure you have at least Windows 7 Pro. Windows 7 Home will only see 16GB.

I purchased the LT2030U red netbook yesterday along with a single stick of 2GB PNY 677 Mhz memory and it shows 2048 for memory. So the answer to your question is yes it will upgrade to 2GB but you have to do it with single sticks as there is only one memory connector slot in the memory bay.

Yes, we did add extra ram...note the total memory cannot exceed 4megs . Hope this helps!

to the best of my knowledge, your machine will take a maximum of 8gb of ram (DDR2)...that (should) means a pair of 4gb sticks...I do not know if your computer came with a pair of 1.5's or a single 3gb stick...check out what is inside the computer...just Google "how to remove/replace the RAM in (your model)...it's simple to do. It is costly however for DDR2's (probably $100 or more each). good luck
