install memory: Anyone has the same experience?

This happened to me too, but I was able to startup with the 1GB card. Then I followed instructions on page 16 to disable boot booster before installing the 2GB card. This worked and I am now good. Hopefully this helps you as well as others.

Also is the existing memory soldered in? can it be taken out and replaced with a new memory module? The specs say it supports up to 16GB, has anyone tried it yet?

I just installed it and tried multiple devices, but haven't tried the memory yet.

Hello, I have had very good support and quality of service by going to "Crucial.com", they have a downloadable memory scanner that will show you what memory is compatible with your system in question. Hope this helps 8)

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.

I purchased mine around the same time, and had no problems. It's difficult to advise you here though (because of so little info about your problem and no back and forth). I suggest checking Asus' support site. While it's hard to navigate, it does have lots of info, including (I believe) teardown docs for replacing the hard drive and memory.

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!

I had the same exact problem and have pretty much tried everything to resolve with no solution that works 100% of the time. In talking with Crucial, they will exchange the memory even if you didn't buy it direct. But how does one know which memory chips will work without this frustrating problem that occurs even when trying to hybernate or sleep? I've been stalling and hoping that ASUS would update their BIOS and memory handling abilities, but their support is useless for this.

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!

Not sure what the results will be. But I would think you would have to install what they recommend since that's how I found the correct memory for my computer.

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

Mine came with 2 x 2Gb memories, it has two slots so you may buy a 2 x 4Gb kit and replace the actual memories

Memory fails as to whether we had instructions, but we did install it and it works fine. Sorry to be of no help.

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

Please go to youtube, type in your laptop brand and model and search for memory installation. It is a simple process depending on the brand and model. Otherwise get a technician to install it for you.

For those of you that have increased the memory, can you see a difference in performance?

Yes, you are missing thing - dual channel mode for the memory access. Just google for "Single memory vs dual channel". You may get in average 10-20% performance boost but if you decide to upgrade kit, you cant simply add new RAM, as both slots are used by kit.
