Hi Guys

Sorry i am kinda outdated.
Just saw the EEEPC by asus today. fell in love with it because my current lappy going to RIP soon.

My queation is:
1) How many version of EEEPC in the market? Is it all standard 4G Flash ram, upgradable graphic and standard SODIM Ram support?

2) I am no linux user but i find it facinating today. However the pc is for work and mostly my work are in windows especially the exel and the words. Can i use my previous work in this linux base format?

3) the answer for question 2 is a "No", Will Installing the XP affect the speed of the EEEPC?

4) This guy in lowyat said he will trow in a 1G ram for me and a special price purchase of a portable DVD writer for only RM300 if i buy the laptop. Linux base is 1399, xp is 1499. Is it a good buy?

5) If not then any recommendation?

Thank you all... i have not bought the PC yet, considering now.. need to get information before purchasing the lappy.

thanks bro.. I have decided to get it. Maybe around this week. i think i am going to stick with linux first... then i change to xp. Do you think it is worth to buy the portable DVD writer for RM300? They said if i buy the EEEPC from them they can give me a special price which is 300 for the external drive.

by the way, are you planning to modify the internal "HDD" space or you just use an external HDD?

guy.. kinda confuse here...

I saw many saying about the eeePC900.. They said it is going to launch soon.
Price should be around 1.8k+

Anybody know when is it going to launch? If this month might as well i wait for it to launch first instead of buying the 701 series....

thanks..

Hi guys.. just got my self a eeepc today in lowyat.
nice...
Reason why i didnt wait because of the estimated cost for eeepc will be roughly about 1.8k to 1.9k.
I think i stick to this eeepc701 because of the $$$. safe cost yet nice..
Just upgraded to 1G Ram, SDHC 8G, and 160G ext HDD, I think more thn enough for me to use for work...

hmmm.. the fun starts now... more tweaking and playing with this toy...

hi guys...

Anybody tried installing XP using USB tumbdrive or the external HDD?
I have been searching around... couldn't get it.... need advise..

thanks.

guy... noob here..
just checking a few things..

anybody really successfully tried XPlite without error message popping out? I am noob in wondows so alteration with the files might be a bad idea. Especially one file missing, alert message keep on appearing..

another thing about the open office. Can anybody tell me the difference between open office and Microsoft office 97 in terms of usage and space? are they compatible especially spreadsheet macro, auto calculations and formulars.......

to be frank i am thinking of going for XPlite but not daring yet...
My aim is to reduce space usage.

thank you....

no help anybody? pls pls advise ... thank you

thank bro for the info,..

I am currently using XP pro sp2, Office 97, drivers for eeepc. my SSD 4G left 480MB. so i am considering to lower down the space consumption. I dont use linux because of the software compatibility, although the interface is nice and neat.

I did half way tried the Nlite software but no confident because some of the software need personal preference which i am not too familiar with the windows. you know la.. dummy like me just full install the whole XP everything to prevent from the errors to pop up. So i was asking if anybody had done the nlite and confirm no issue, can share their ideas and opinion.

normally i dont bring the 2.5" out unless necessary... My SDHC 8G/16G is more than enough for the usage...

thanks again...

cheerio

you mean the manual book comes with the EEEpc? ok.. i will check it out... thank alot...

u waiting for the eeepc900 is it?

i think getting a used laptop is not worth la.... i used before... hell alot of problem when time comes.... dont like it... thats why i choose eeepc... less than 1.4k and yet handy..

I also got pc at home... Quad core with 9800GTX. for gaming...
i think eeepc is worth buying... especially attract chicks.... ke ke ke... chicks tend to look at you when you get this pc...

hi guys... i manage to increase my memory space but removing the files according to the manual book.
Question:

Pagging files... in default is 756MB.
the bigger the paging file setting, the better is the space consumption or the other way round?
I have 1G RAM at the moment.

as for the graphic memory crrently is 64MB, i have check the bios.. i couldnt find the setting for the memory or there isnt option for the memory size change.... thinking of increase it to avoid visual lagging...

to huh?

congrat forgetting a eeepc... and thanks for the information about the paging file as well. RM1k eh... ok la.. good price i think....

one thing i notice the batt life is not that good... easily used up the power of the batt...
or should i just charge for 8 hours like the method we do for handphone before using the laptop..?

a moment of silence to the poor lappy......
