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?

On the Apple website, go to the Apple 'store' and look on the left side under 'for Mac' and click on 'memory' and you will se listings of Macs such as 'current' and 'previous' and look for your Macbook, then click on it to get info about its memory, whether or not it can be upgraded, and if so, what specifications you need to adhere to. You can also call the number for the Mac store and ask them for this info. It will be cheaper from Amazon!

Thanks for the info in re do-it-yourself upgrading to 2GB. I have a HP 210-1040 NR and would like to try an upgrade but would need at least basic instructions before I opened up my computer. Are such available, as far as you know? Thanks.

You need to go to the start button and click it, then go to my computer and it will tell you the system is either 32 or 64 depending on the package it has installed. You can upgrade to 64 if yours is a 32bit. Just check Amazon for the premium or professional package you want to use. Hope this helps!

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.

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

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.

You need to match the speed of your old memory if you're adding to it. The speed of the memory should be on the label for example 10600 or 5300. If you removing the old memory then you have to make sure the size of the memory and speed doesn't exceede the mother board specification. example some motherboards have a limit of 2 gig per slot.

I'm not sure... Open the memory slot and check, if there is one try to compare.

Go to www.crucial.com, then go to "memory" and agree to download the scanner which will scan your system and tell you what you can update to. If you can update to normal DD3 memory and your computer has room for 8gb or more you'll be fine. If it takes regular crucial it will take the Kingston - this memory is an excellent buy!

Im not to sure, I bought myself a new one. If the previous owner hasn't deleted the memory then it should be there.

Go to www.crucial.com and run their system scanner. The results from the scan will show how much and what type of memory your system can run. The results will also show compatible memory upgrade recommendations.

Don't understand your question. Are you asking me how the computer works with the upgrade? I'm a little confuse.

Just visit www.crucial.com. They have the Crucial Advisor tool which shows all compatible memory, when you pick your specific system off the list. There is also a System Scanner tool that will analyze your system and determine all compatible upgrades. The latter is better if you have no idea about your system specs.

IMHO, a safe and easy way to upgrade the RAM is to follow the approach of using a credit card in conjunction with a Philip's screwdriver, as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xKSpW3q0GY Be aware that upgrading the RAM pretty much voids your warranty. That said, it was actually quite simple and I upgraded to 1.5GB. Tips: 1. Make sure there is plenty of light, and go slow and deliberate. You don't want to lose any screws inside the AA1. 2. Use two credit-cards instead of one when working on the keyboard. Use one credit card to push the tabs and with the other hand use a second credit card to get underneath the keyboard to push it up. (NOTE: DO NOT force anything!) 3. It is NOT necessary to disconnect the LCD display connector. You can get to the RAM socket underneath the motherboard after unscrewing the LAN card, motherboard and daughterboard.

go to www.crucial.com put in your computer model and other information it asks you. crucial will tell you what memory your computer needs, plus the total amount of memory your computer will accept. you don't have to buy crucial memory. i always check crucial when i buy a new computer. hope this helps.
