Adding more RAM? Has anyone added more RAM to the AOA150-1784? If so, how did you do it, and what type should I buy? Thanks for any info.

Yes, cracked case,pulled 512 card and added new 1gig card and swapped the wireless card with a wireless n intel card. Cracking the case is not for the feight of heart. You tube has several AAO instruction videos. Go slow, keep screws organized and use a new mini screwdriver. Vista (did that upgrade last month) fired up as before; aerthos wireless card drops are gone.

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?

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks

Thanks for the response...the first 2GB i received from Amazon actually seemed to slow DOWN my netbook...esp noticeable after i replaced it with the 1GB to see if the hanging shutdown would go away (which it did)...so my question to you is...do you notice ANY enhanced performance from the 800 mHz 2GB install?

Art, i think the clock speed of the Amazon suggested 2GB ram is too slow for the 1005PE...i told amazon this and they were gracious in accepting it back for refund...we shall see how that part goes...next i am going to try an 800Mhz 2 GB ram upgrade...talking to others on here suggests that should clear up the problem...

Seth, there too many to list. What is your goal in asking this? Do you have a motherboard that you want to get this memory for, or do you have this memory, and are trying to find a motherboard to put with it? If the latter, maybe you could specify your requirements... i.e. Price is most important, or performance, or best gaming for the buck, etc.

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.

Eager to know if works! I too am thinking of expanding. If it does work, please share the Ram manufacturer and specs. Thanks.

i ordered a 2GB upgrade built by Hynix from Amazon today. I will update you with success/failure situation in a week or so...2GB DDR2 RAM PC6400 800MHz 200PIN SODIMM by Hynix...actually derives from OEMPCWorld...Hynix and Unifosa are two brands of ram purportedly supported by ASUS

Dear customer,1. The amount of installing RAM have to be min. 4 GB if the OS is Windows 7 or 8. Better is 6 or 8 GB RAM, but it depend from the Mother Board.2. If the PC is old there is dust inside. You have to clean the contact points before adding the new RAM. Practically, the handy way is to plug in and remove several times the RAM in the socket places. I hope then the PC will start normaly! Success!

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)

Uncertain as to what you ask by "full"?... as far as performance, I love this board. I'm running an AMD Quad Core A10-Series APU with Kingston ram. Windows?... not so much :P

Memory becomes a fanboy issue, I've never had ram fail, and have used Corsair, Crucial, Patriot, Mushkin, Kingston ... currently I'm running 4 sticks of Patriot IEM Viper 3 @2133mhz

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

Jarrett, What CPU do you have? You can run almost any RAM, personally I use only Corsair....currently using 2 sticks 4 GB each of the Vengeance series. CML8GX3M2A1866C9R. Hope I was able to help you
