the pre-launch Eeepc is what spec? 256MB RAM with 2GB SSD??

"Asus Next Release: Asus Eee PC 8G to have 10 inch Display". this should be the right model for people who wish for a larger screen.

well, this is last week news, the one mentioned above was one month old news.

"During the Asus Eee PC announcements in Germany and Austria last week the German Asus press representative Holger Schmidt made a statement to a press agency called pressetext that the Asus 8G would come with a larger 10 inch display."

well, i think the other way. it could be Asus marketing idea to create a new market in mobile computing. Using EEEPC as the starting point, create a few segments eg: low, medium, high end... market of EEEPC.

for a bit high end segments eg: 8G 10", it can potentially grap the market of other branded ultraportable notebook, especially for business/sales/corporate execs.

low end models for new comers. medium end models for light users/students.

when think of this, we can imagine what is the purpose of Asus creates the 8G 10".

hi all,

after i installed Windows XP, Office 2003 and AVG, i check my 4GB EEEPC SSD only left about 400MB, anything i can manual delete/disable to save more space?

one more thing. i read from the internet, it's ok to break the sticker for RAM upgrade, it won't void the warranty. but it's Asus usa website. for EEE PC bought from local example MTCS, is the warranty still valid after RAM upgrade?

i think the only problem would be the win2k drivers support. if Asus and the hardware vendors didn't provide the hardware driver for win2k, the EEE PC won't be that perfect under win2k. perhaps someone here try that before.

nice solution. now i got 700MB left. thanks

he got it from taiwan?

nice price there. here 4G version already for sale at RM1499. (the MTCS case different lar, rm1299)

anyone know what is the best way to find out the eeepc with or without mini-PCI, without open the back cover?

Mine is the 7A serial number No need to worry the 4G SSD worn out, as long as there are mini pci-e SSD for sale, i'm safe. thanks.

that time new generation of EEEPC already built into our HP.

only the 4G with mini pcie version can become 12GB, if only Asus sells the 8GB SSD mini-pcie module separately.

one of my friends asked me can we use the EEEPC for BT downloading? i said definitely not recommended since it's using SSD. However, he said it's possible to upgrade the EEEPC to 2GBram, then used the RAMDISK for downloading without accessing the SSD.

Use the Ramdisk software to make part of the RAM become a HDD for download? i have not idea is it possible.

anyone know about this and try before? if it's possible it might help us to save some electricity bill money.

so, it's possible. hmmm,...that is great but i don't think i will do that

mine was already installed with Windows XP, i disable the paging, tested a few applications, office 2003, real player, mplayer, k-lite, surf internet, so far no issue.

it should be fine with normal daily application, but i never ty huge & big application on this small notebook, also, after install winXP SP2, office 2003, AVG and few small apps, my SSD left about 1.5GB.

hi all,

anyone know which software is the best to backup my SSD content into a portable hdd? i know about GHOST (last time dos version), but long time never use it. beside GHOST, what is the best software to backup the whole SSD content into an image file?

i can't believe people will buy the EEEPC for gaming . any low end about RM2000 notebook should be better than EEEPC. maybe EEEPC can run some old games.

i think the temperature is ok, as long as the EEEPC is not hang.
