Check out newegg and search for laptop memory 2gb DDR2, then you will find out which fit in technical specification and/or customer reviews sections.

Jose, someone in one of these forums suggested a 2 gig memory card from a different manufacturer, other that Crucial. I forgot which one it was but, apparently that one was working fine in the Asus. I am now quite happy with the performance of the factory 1 gig so, I do not plan to upgrade.

Kingston's memory search lists the memory as "2GB (Non-removable) DDR3L-1600"; that's the closest to anything authoritative until someone buys one and pulls it apart.Sounds like it's soldered in. Too bad. Could be such a great linux/chromebook with the 13" and a little memory boost.http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search?DeviceType=3&Mfr;=TOS&Line;=Chromebook&Mode;l=87592

No problem... let me know if you need more help... I have TONS of cool little tricks for these netbooks. I've searched high and low and kept the resource usage as low as possible... This little computer is amazing.Mark

You should be able to use one 8gb stick but I have two of these boards and I have had problems using 4gb sticks but i've never used two of them at the same time but I know that it's just a bit more that a coincidence that both brand new sticks of 4gb did not work in either board. So i'm not sure if it will work for you or not. I use two 2gb sticks on both boards.

Ivan the Terrible says: I wonder if upgrading RAM to 2GB will increase speed of the operation? How difficult to open up and replace 1GB part with 2GB? It does not have an optic drive. Does any CD/DVD external drive for laptops will work with 1002HA? I would like to install Microsoft Office and also have with me some data while I travel on CD/DVD. What it makes eeebuntu better than XP home? I apologize for some naive questions. Greatly appreciate if somebody replies with comments.

One stick may work since the max memory for this laptop is 8GB.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=604583#spec

I wrote the following in my review of the 1000HE netbook. Did you follow all these steps? It was a breeze to replace the installed 1GB with 2GB -- remove 2 screws, take off cover, push out the two retaining clips on either side of the 1GB module, take out the 1GB module, put in the 2GB module, press down, replace cover and screws, done! Oh, one more thing. As the computer starts to boot up (and I mean right when it starts to power up) hold down the F2 key to bring up the BIOS. Verify that it sees 2GB of RAM. Then hit F10 to save the configuration. Once booted up, check by right-clicking My Computer, Properties.

When you upgraded, did you use 1-2gb stick or 2-1gb sticks?Does the 904ha come with 2-512's, or 1-1gb?Can anyone also recommend a particular model/brand of RAM to buy along with the laptop. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.thanks.

Yes, these are 2x1 GB stick/order. And you should check your Mainboard for sure that you have 4 memory slots. Some Mainboard has only 2 slot for them. good luck!

I too noticed that with the camera's internal memory, but not with my 2GB stick. btw, look at this product: Iogear USB 2.0 MEMORY CARD RW ( GFR202MSD ) in amazon, it is a pen drive which holds the memory stick inside it. Very cool and cheap, I'll be buying one. Oh, also, I was a bit disappointed with the video quality the first 2 days, then I noticed the default is "medium" quality, once I changed it to "high" quality, I decided THIS IS THE ONLY CAMCORDER I NEED.

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.

Yes it will...but first check how many RAM slots you have in this small "netbook". Larger laptops have 2 slots for 2 RAM sticks. Netbooks, like you have, usually have just one slot...thus you can only have one RAM stick. Again, check this out. In any case, the model you mentioned (netbook) can have a maximum RAM of 2 GB and it would be best to be able to have a total of 2 GB installed total RAM. If you have only one slot total, then you'll need to to get a 2 GB stick to max out the RAM which would give you better performance most likely.

I bought NB505-N508BL 7 days back. Nice Piece! If you just want to surf internet, check emails, watch movie and listen to music there is no need to upgrade the memory. For better performance one can upgrade the memory to 2gig (DDR3 for new models and DDR2 for older ones). I upgraded to windows 7 pro and 2 gigs memory. My netbook works as good as a laptop. Note: Please don't order memory before you start using the machine, 1 GB DDR3 should be sufficient for basic users.
