2gb ram... damn cheap rm128

hmm how come more expensive than micro SD card RM58 for 2GB

taikor, this 1 is ram not SD card lah

uh?? mean? the stickers no longer important to warranty issue?

the DDR2 533 is enuf for celeron?

like tat i oso 1 2 top up the ram liao...then convert to xp



hang, urs is XP redy? Ram size leh? 1GB? eh, how much space XP occupied?


i tried out the Voice Command, bloody hard to use it, maybe my english is bad.. only manage to launch the music, photo, network...

Ok, my eeePC runs WinXP very well right now.

The main reason I did the upgrade to 2GB is not for performance issues, but rather because with more RAM it means that I can turn off the paging file and reduce wear on the SSD.

I tried to move the paging file and the temporary internet files to the SD card but... the pity is that my 2GB SanDIsk Extreme card just isn't fast enough to handle it. The system slows to a crawl when the temporary internet files are stored there.

Wonder if a class 6 SDHC card makes a difference or not?

ya...same thought too(turn off paging file)

how much space occupied by xp ?

net temp to sd/mmc/sdhc isn't good idea.. BUT,

since 2GB memory, y not take out 512 memory for virtual memory drive just for everything on temp ?

DDR2 533MHz good enuf for eee? or 667?

i have sdhc class6.. quite laggy..but seems better than my sd card 60x

hmm.. 512MB for a RAM drive just for temp files... interesting idea...

the base install of winxp professional (no tweaks or nlite at all) took up 2GB.

Using Kingston 2GB DDR667 ram

Guys.. you reckon the Eeepc will be stable enough for 24/7 operation?

Just brought a A-Data 8G Class 6 SD Card in RM208 from PC Fair.

Work like charm and even faster than my flash drive....hehe

ok, created a 100MB RAM disk for use as temporary internet file storage.

Works like a charm... fast.. cool! Thanks for the suggestion Irontech!

100MB only? That enough?

anyone have problems with the webcam under xp?

i have re-installed xp three times, and all three got problem with the webcam.

question - when i install windows, i need to set the installation in the bios to install ke?

mine have problem until i switch back my installation start to end in the bios

before you start xp installation you need to set the os installation switch to start in the bios, after you finish and it boots into windows for the first time, do a restart and set os installation switch to end in the bios.

Also make sure the webcam is enabled in the BIOS.

I have reinstalled vista and xp multiple times camera works everytime.

so i HAVE to set the install in the bios to start first . then i install my XP?

so it seems i have to re-install everything then i can have my webcam eh?

webcam works on mine no problem... using xp now... kena poison by marauderz to add 2gb ram also heheheheh

what?? 8GB SD? Rm208??


make sure the XP installation CD is with SP2. after XP completed, then follow asus provided CD all drivers.

I done mine once, wecab is there. webcam not necessary enable from bios too.

since now adding ram wont void warranty , hehe already upgraded to 2gb as well

Dun worry more HDD space coming.. hang on to your eePC.. I bet just need to re image over enough adi..

Toshiba to make 128GB solid state drive
Mass production under way

By Nick Farrell: Monday, 10 December 2007, 7:25 AM


TOSHIBA SAID that it will mass produce solid state drives ranging in sizes of between 32 gigabytes to 128 gigabytes next year.

The 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch drives will be launched in May as part of a cunning plan to push solid state drives and force the current technology into signing its UB40.

Solid state drivers are fast, quiet and currently extremely expensive. So far they have only been seen in portable devices like tablet and Ultra-Mobile PCs and even then only in small sizes.

Currently, Samsung Electronics and Sandisk already make solid-state drives but the sizes of drives being talked about by Toshiba is new.

According to Reuters, Micron also has plans to enter the solid state drive market, with mass production early next year.

Memoreeee warranteee reeeewrite

By Nick Farrell: Monday, 10 December 2007, 3:22 PM


ASUS has issued a statement saying that it was ok for punters to upgrade the RAM on the eeeePC

Thanks to a stunning cock-up on the design front, the eeeeeeePC shipped with a warning sticker over the access door to the single ODIMM slot on some models of the ASUS Eee PC.

These stickers told of the perils of taking the back off your eeeePC. Yea, the four horses of the apocalypse, shall ride, the warranty shall be voided and lo there shall be great gnashing of teeth when the seal is broken.

But as users pointed out, that would all be very well if you did not have to stick in extra RAM. The eeeePC ships with the memory of a goldfish. It could only remember your name and the time.

So now Asustek has told the world plus dog that memory upgrades will not void the warranty. In fact when the eeeeeePC [has your keyboard got stuck? Ed.] ships in future the seal will not be there.

Asus will actually replace the warranty label with a label to warn users that the outfit will not be responsible for the damage caused by improper hardware change if you really want it in writing.

The firm has also changed its written Limited Warranty policies to cope with the changes.

That is not to say that Asus thinks letting your Uncle Stan, who everyone thinks is a bit handy with computers because he used to clean the floors at IBM, should be allowed to have a tinker with it. µ
