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.
308666
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.

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 would suggest going to crucial.com and let them do a memory configuration with the computer that you are hoping to install the memory modules. The configurator will tell you what modules are accepted for your computer without agreeing to buy from them. If the memory modules are not acceptable for your computer, you can always buy what they might have to offer.

Hi Pravin: I bought the Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3... because I read the info and I liked the brand and I know Kingston was a good brand to purchase. It will work with your laptop and I don't see anything wrong. If you don't like it then you can always ask to return the memory.

I have 2 1GB Dimms working in an Acer Power 1000. They were plug and play for me. I had two of these systems and both worked fine. This will not help you?!? If this Dimm is listed as compatible (DDR2 PC2 5300), you might need to tweaks some of the memory setting such as ECC (error correction), access speed, etc in your bios, but be sure to record your current setting so you can return if necessary.

Mine came standard with 2GB and these are SODIMM (laptop) memory modules and there are only two slots, this memory is pricey unlike regular laptop memory, keep this in mind because there are plenty of HP refurb DC7800's out there with 4GB and Win7 64 for $140 and up. Or you buy this machine and spend another 100 to get it up to working condition.

According to the specs here http://m.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6438770 this memory module will work. The important numbers are DDR 2 and 667MHz. PC2-5300 is just another way of saying the same thing because some manufacturers use xxxMHz and others may use PC-xxxx. My suggestion is to upgrade to 1GB.

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.

Good Morning, As I am not framilar with the ASUS netbook, I do not know what type memory modules are used The manual should be available should be available on-line and will tell you which type of memory modules are used. Sorry could not be more helpful. Andy

It's very easy to upgrade. There is a plate on the bottom front of the laptop that has two screws on one end and then tabs on the other end where you can slip a small flat blade screwdriver on each of the three tabs and gently lift up. The two DIMM slots feed your new memory just like any other soDimm. I just checked to make sure. I already have two 4GB cards in mine, so I'm happy.

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 just bought the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PEB-RRE (the brownish red one) and decided to upgrade the ram to 2GB. Order the Crucial CT25664AC800 based on recommendations by other ASUS owners on Amazon. It works!!! The whole process takes less than 10 minutes. I actually spend most of the time figuring how to open the cover. The BIOS setting even auto-detect. I am very happy with both products.

the specs are usually on the old ram installed there fore you should match up the numbers also since you are useing ddr they should run in pairs and with that being said you need to go to toshiba support site and see what is the max mem. your pc can run. I would recomend installing the maximum since you will be pulling out modules that may never have another use. hope this is helpful

Based on the results of a search for Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop memory upgrade via Crucial's memory upgrade advisor, these should work fine.Crucial indicates a maximum of 2GB PC2700 DDR CL = 2.5 for the unit.

Sorry to say, I don't know. I have ordered from various sources a 2Gb RAM DDR2 chip to replace a 1Gb (of 4) chip, and not only did it fail, but the slot seems to have died. I ordered 4Gb from another source that sent 8Gb (two different types), none of which fit the slots. I went to Crucial's Web site and downloaded & installed their "tester" program to determine what my computer needed, ordered it from them (2 X 2Gb chips) and replaced 2 lGb chips with their 2Gb chips and they work fine. Crucial's DDR2 are not cheap, but, they do work in my custom-built machine. Dell MIGHT help, but I can recommend Crucial's tester, chips, and quick delivery (price, not so much). Best wishes to you.

Definitely SODIMM. I also ordered the wrong memory based on the false description. Fortunately, I was able to return it and buy 4GB SODIMMs instead. Then again, even a quick glance at the picture would have shown the discrepancy so I guess I'm partially to blame. Sigh...
