erm....

With Full XP Version, you still can get about 1.xG free space after the tweak from Asus User Manual had done.

With all the Windows Updates. and compress the drive, you will get 1.xG also...

i try installing the xp, but stuck after the 1st reboot. it gives me memory error and say insufficient space.

erm ahem version ?

sigh. this weekend only i'm free to go MTCS but they're all sold out now. so sad.

i really hope the new batch comes in quick.

Follow the Step from the Asus User Manual, then you will not miss any step or get in any problem.

I called asus sales office they said no EEEpc for Pc fair and next batch only next month not earlier.

nearly took them 2 weeks to clear the 200 unit ,

hey guys - for those who installed xp on the Eee, how big is your realtek driver install?

will the black version come in 2nd batch?

i'm from East Coast wohh...`
since West there out of stock, does it mean .. even next batch arrives also no chance for retailing at here?

From my window Add or Remove program panel, it say the size taken up by the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver is 48.91MB.

mine abt the same as well
i am actually kinda dissapointed with the ram upgrade , bought mine on wednesday thinking to go upgrade on friday

hi, i just got a new eee pc, wanna ask how do use the web cam for the msn messenger ? i am using the linux version and cannot find the option to use video chat. any help will be great ! thanks in advance !

I read somewhere that Tiny XP will do the trick

BTW, what s the curent price? RM1499 or RM1299?

Installation of full version of XP should be fine with standard eee PC 512MB ram. Have try with full XP Pro SP2. Run fine with office 2003, anti virus (AVG), IE7. Have surf the web with multiple pages simultaneously, listening to internet radio via WMP. Run fine.

Most of the time the my eee PC is hook up to an external monitor, wireless keyboard/mouse. Even with higher resolution, the speed is good. Combining with the fast boot time due to the flash drive, this is a great notebook if you move around a lot.

Current price of ram is cheap ( 1GB is about RM75, 1 piece 2GB can get < RM200), 4GB flash drive < RM100. Portable HD is affortable. This should compliment the 4GB limitation.

The price should be RM1299. Currently supposely out of stock. New batch suppose to come in Jan. Supposely, the 8GB SSD/1GB ram will be out also. Pricing could be RM1500 for the Linux version, Rm1700 for the Window version from what I gather and heard so far.

the webcam currently only works in skype version 2.0 beta for linux...

To achive 2gb ... how many piece of gb ram ... 1 or 2 piece? Any brand recommend?

eee PC has 1 ram slot. To get 2GB, need to replace the 512MB one that come the machine with standard notebook DDR2 SODIMM 5300 ram. I am using the Apacer 2GB which I bought from Thunder Match from Digital Mall. Cost RM180 for the one piece 2GB ram.

From what I gather, Kingston & Transcend will also worked.

my friend told me 2gb rm139 only at pcfair penang.. adata brand..

*sweet*
Just last week price is round RM300

now await price and availabilty of 8GB SDHC class 6 card. Been asking around. Can't find any shop that stock these cards.
