Victor, the Windows Task Manager shows how much memory is being used, as well as how much of the CPU is being used. The most memory intensive task I've seen is watching a Hulu video. That task uses LESS than 1 gb of memory, although the CPU may hit 100% from time to time. Of course, if I wanted to watch two or three Hulu videos at the same time, or maybe try to use PhotoShop, then 2 gb of memory would be useful. But, I doubt many folks use a $300 netbook as their Photoshop editing computer.

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.

I agree with Alan.If you run the Performance Index you can see that the bottleneck comes from the CPU.BTW, I get 2.4 as Performance Index.
308667
Hi Steve, did you ever decide to upgrade to 2gb of RAM on your Acer AO532h-2588? If so which of the three RAMs did you go with and did it work?
308668
My own tests indicate that even with video-intensive tasks, the 1 gig of memory that is supplied is more than enough, and adding memory will have ZERO value on the speed of carrying out normal tasks with the Acer netbook. The limiting factor is the CPU and its built-in video chip, which often hit 100% of capacity during video-intensive tasks, such as burning a DVD. Adding memory will not improve performance.
308669
anyone who says that a 2GB memory won't speed up your netbook don't know what their talking about. use the PC2-6400 800MHz memory. If you don't mind spending the extra 43 bucks then get it, you'll be happy you did.

Thanks for your feedback. One thing that occurs to me is that my Acer delivers what is needed to simply play back my Netflix Instantwatch with the original 1mb. I think I will keep it there. It's all I really use it for, with exception of occassional hotel stays to check email.
308671
Hi Kevin, no, I figured because I never really do serious work on it, I wasn't going to bother. As long as Netflix instantwatch works with the original ram, as well as other streaming sites like cbsnews.com, I won't worry about it. And it streams perfectly on it.

Computers always work best if you use pairs, rather than using one module at a time. Whatever you buy, buy two modules, not one. That being said, this should work for the laptop that you posted. Get the 2x512mb. The motherboard you have maxes at 1gb of ram, and only has two memory slots, so the 2x512mb should work fine. I bought the same ram from Komputerbay well over 18 months ago, and it's worked beautifully. Komputerbay is a good company to buy from.

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.

Hello, you can see what Crucial GB Memory Chips will both fit your computer, and how much Memory it can expand to at this URL: http://www.crucial.com/ Run the "System Scanner Tool", and then choose what it is exactly you want to Upgrade to, depending on price and capacity. You can then purchase these parts from Crucials Website Directly, or look for a better price on Amazon, just make sure they are in fact the same Modules, (PARTS) from either site.

****(DDR2-800) is technically called PC2-6400, if your installed memory is DDR2-800, this is right module for you. It's also backward compatible with PC2-5300 (DDR2-667) ***DDR2/ DDR3 Laptop memory modules are 200 PINS and Desktop memory modules are 240 PINS. More technical info and difference in memory types are found at http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.aspx?qid=4073 http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.aspx?qid=3773

8 GB DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM 200-pin x 2 slots with a 800MHz Front side bus. That is the technical description of the Dell Inspiron 1440. 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR2 PC2-6400 LAPTOP Memory Modules (200-pin SODIMM, 800MHz) technical descriptor of the Crucial Memory upgrade kit. I would say yes reading these specs. I would go to the Crucial site and check their specs with the Make and Model of your lap top to be sure. They will tell which kits a compatible. I would say yes though.

There are a few Web Sites that gives what type of RAM modules would need for your laptop: www.crucial.com and www.memory4less.com ==&gt; Check out these two Web sites and find your laptop for which RAM module(s) you need for your laptop. Hope this helps.

Hi Cet,There weren't a lot of computers that were built to accept the DDR2 4GB module. Being a rare part, it is quite expensive. ***Please verify that your machine can take a 4GB module before purchasing.*** I have included a link below to the 4GB DDR2 module. 4GB DDR2-667-PC2-5300 240 pin Desktop RAM Memory Upgrade by Arch MemoryThanks,TrishCustomer CareArch Memory

I upgraded with 2MB of 200 pin DDR2 - 667 MHz PC5300 with no problem. The brand was Corsair but I also understand Kingston works well also. I bought it at Fry's Electronics for $28.99 with a $10.00 mail-in rebate making it $18.99.

I used this sold by Amazon. It works very well. PNY OPTIMA 2GB DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 Notebook / Laptop SODIMM Memory Module MN2048SD2-667 It took longer to open the package than to install the memory. Remember as others have said, there is only one memory slot so you must use a single 2G memory module.

Hi Suzanna, This was a single 2gb unit, and it did not work in either of my machines. I did have success with two 1gb units from kingston - just search "kingston valueram 1 gb pc2 5300" it's around 17$ per unit, but it worked with the Satellite's motherboard setup (won't do over 2gb, has to be two 1gb units) (not sure about other brands 1gb units compatibility) best of luck

Here's my advice. Go to crucial.com and download the memory upgrade adviser. It will tell you exactly what kind of memory you currently have and what configurations and types of memory are compatible with your laptop. You don't have to upgrade with Crucial memory. Just about any manufactured memory will serve as long as it is of the same type.

Just rec'd this model Crucial as recommended on Amazon to upgrade new ASUS 1005 PE but now hesitant to with what I'm reading.Spoke with Crucial rep and advised slower than the recommeded CT1166735 they show on their site but should work. Anymore feedback from anyone before I give it a whirl. Thanks R.Moore
