Can someone tell me how to install the 2gb memory: I am not computer saavy and bought the 2gb. how do i install it?

I had the same question. It's hard to find information. You just open a door on the back of the unit by the serial number and windows stickers. One screw. This exposes the 1 GB card. You pull this out and plug in the 2GB card. Should take about 10 minutes at the most. Check setup to make sure it recognizes the extra memory.

William as stated below I used YouTube. It was like having a professor next to me. I was extremely careful. Find the year and model of your mb and search with that RAM UPGRADE inside YouTube And u r golden.

When I tried to install this RAM in my ASUS 1015PED, it refused to get to the BIOS screen. I seated it correctly, but it simply didn't boot when I had this particular 2GB stick. Apparently it isn't compatible?

I had no problems installing mine. Be sure to determine if your model uses DDR2 or DDR3 memory. If you log onto Crucial.com with the netbook they will check it for compatible memory and tell you exactly what is needed. Kingston may do the same but I only use Crucial memory sticks.

Thank you for you reply.I guess I wasn't clear on what I was asking.Is the notebook upgradeable to 2 GB Ram? [it uses 200 pin 667,pc5300 memory] Is it hard or easy to open the case and get at the memory stick?Will it void my warranty? I'm afraid Crucial can't help me with these questions.

I wish that I could answer this with 100% confidence, but I can't. I'm guessing that you won't have any issues as it has all of the proper timings and settings. The install is very easy, so I would just try it out. Do give the system plenty of time to boot. First time I booted with the new memory, I "freaked out" a bit thinking that the system wasn't going to boot - AGAIN - with a memory upgrade. I had tried some other memory that I had laying around.... that was a flop! It did boot, it just seemed to take a bit longer than the first time. Good luck!

How do you open it to add memory? I have had this for about 3 days, and it seems to work well, but my wife complains it is too slow on her farmville mega-ranch :) There is no documentation or anything at the acer site. The owners manual just says to "take out screws", but I only see one visible screw in the bottom. I removed it, but nothing came apart. It seems to be a nice PC, removed all the free-software and it runs everything well so far. It is also so small and quiet.Any help would be appreciated.

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!

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

Try this. I opened my laptop and took the number off of the memory chip then looked it up on Amazon.The laptop had two memory slots, the one in the laptop was a 4gb, the max was 8gb so I just needed to get the other 4gb. See the specs on yours to see if you can do this.

I have the computer and the memory, but don't know how to do it. Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere?

I would recommend to update your bios, I just did that and now my Memory chip worked, GREAT! feels like a brand new Laptop!

Here is the Comanies Product Page. Click the Tab which says CPU/Memory Support and Downloads.Download the PDF to see they mention at least a very similar model to the one you have?http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4288#

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

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.

Don't think the seller will, but I ordered from crucial and installed 4 GB myself. Took about 2 min

Peter, what brand/model/spec were the 2X2 GB? I'd like to upgrade mine also to 4 GB.
