Broadcom HD? a processor for processing HD video connected via PCI connector? Then if that person wants to add a WWAN card, then it wouldn't be possible anymore?

How to change the RAM.

QUOTE(mengsuan @ Mar 27 2010, 09:46 PM)
Remove battery, push the 2 orange tabs, then firmly pry the back cover open. You can access the RAM compartment easily.

Saw the guy in Lowyatt did it. Quite easy though.
.
Take out the battery and you'll see two orange tab. Push both tabs, and the back panel should come out. You may have to pry it would ur nails or something if it gets stuck....not for the faint hearted, as at a certain point I thought the guy would certainly break the panel..hahaha..
.
Thereafter the RAM place is accessible. Taking out the RAM is much easier....
.
Then place back the panel and ur ready to roll!!!! .
.
Youtube also got... icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif
.
Anyway FR on 2GB over the weekend...hmmm seems faster whether physically or psychologically... Yet to clean the laptop up further of all the 3rd party HP apps which is not required. Should be faster there after. ..

Hi,

My 210 is using XP ( pre installed ) with Atom 450.

I find the Wireless reception of this netbook is quite poor, esp if it is used on the first floor while the modem is stationed on the ground.

I use to get only best 2 bars,while my ( other ) Asus netbook manages to get 4 to 5 bars. Though, I upgrade with the latest driver, I am still faced with the same problem.

Speed wise, it is pretty fast.

Does anyone of you face the same problem ?

Shall I send to HP service centre for a check.

My is not from Telekom.

Guys..need a clarification here...I want to upgrade the Ram...i know we can do it up to 2Gb...according to this thread, it is advisable to upgrade to DDR2 800...but upon checking on Intel webpage regarding Intel ATOM N450 , it stated the memory types is DDR2 667
Any idea?

well, that's the confusing part...

even when u look at apps like Everest, they will tell u that N450 runs RAM at 667MHz, but many ppl who use N450 netbook report that DDR2 667 RAM do not work... only DDR2 800 will work...

in either case, juz grab DDR2 800, u wouldn't go wrong with it...

Yup, agree with astria...well, just few days ago got a friend of mine brought over his Mini 210 to me saying that got RAM problem...upon checking find out that he's using 667Mhz one and got some conflict with the system which i wonder why..change with my 800Mhz, then Netbook works fine rclxub.gif...for a safer choice, go for 800Mhz...just wondering why N450 can't work with 667Mhz RAM unsure.gif

anybody play games on the hp mini?
e.g. like dota?
does it run smoothly?
just wanna get some feedbacks from u guys
xD

ps: if let say u bought an extra sd card to replace a better ram i think i personally agree on it....
but make sure u get a 4gb or 8gb card.... then....this storage u can store them with ur windows in case u guys wanna reformat in future.

I'm using this netbook now, 6 cell , battery life great!!

DOTA is laggy, as mentioned by other forumers. i'm an avid DOTA player myself, but seldom play anymore due to people call me noob for slow reaction to gangbangs using this netbook.. ~_~

I want to thank TS and forumers here for info on RAM upgrade and optional readyboost skill.

by the way, not sure whether people notice this, but if you go through settings of touchpad, you can opt for the 'disable touchpad when usb mouse connected'. means, usb mouse in = touchpad off, usb mouse out = touchpad on. it helps a lot when u're always moving and disconnecting hardware, don't need to manually double-tap top left of your touchpad.

i have upgraded my hp mini 210 to 2GB 667mhz(sacrifice speed for space) get it free from my friend old faulty notebook , running fine. no ned spend to upgrade is the best ideal.

the performance have a little bit increase when u surf web with firefox(i installed many useful plugin)

changing the RAM is very simple ,pulls out the plastic cover and toolless.(juz like open the back cover of some hand phone to put sim and battery like tat)
