I have replaced my original DDR2 1GB with DDR2 2GB and using Sandisk 4GB SD Card with 30 MB/s class 6. In term of windows booting up time it was improved from the original of 1.10 min to 1min.
From my observation, if you upgraded the the RAM to 2GB the overall performance during the boot up and shut down will still be same as having 1GB of memory but it will allow you to open up more tab while you browsing and other application e.g. Word, Excel smoothly.
For the SD Card, you could observe there is really an improvement during boot up and shut down time. My overall improvement for the boot up time was improved by 14.29% (60/70).

Guys, I'm about to buy this laptop for my Wife-To-Be.
She's a THR.FM cruiser, thus she travels a lot.
Although I have a few question I wanted to ask before I proceed with the purchase of this exact model.
I'm thinking of upgrading the RAM from 1GB to 2GB since I'll be installing Windows 7 Ultimate on this laptop afterwards.
1. What's the total weight of this laptop without AC-adapter connected to it [With battery attched to the laptop offcourse]? Should be around 1.23kg if i not wrong. Quite light nice for travel.
2. Has anyone ever tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit on this laptop? If you have, how's the performance? Feel like the same as Windows Starter, sorry forgot to take time study on this. But for me it work just well
3. How's the overall speed when Yahoo! Messenger with My Webcam running on background, does windows lag a lot or just a little bit with only 1GB of ram installed? Not sure bout this, haven't try it on Yahoo Messenger
4. Will Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit slow down this laptop or would it run at the same speed as Windows 7 Starter 32 Bit? Nope Ultimate will not slow down your Windows.
Buy from eBay worldwide, it's cheaper.

US$29.90 X 3.4 = RM101.66
Current US to RM exchange is 3.2, but you have to include PayPal charges, so the currency exchance should be 3.4 instead.
PS: Never buy a Bluetooth GPS receiver, it's slow. Even the cheapest USB GPS receiver can beat the most expensive Bluetooh GPS receiver.
