I put a 2 gig dimm in my EEE PC. It was the white one with no ram door so I had to take the whole thing apart.
I also removed the linux and installed Windows 2000. That was no easy task either. I didn’t have a USB CD-rom and none of the USB sticks I tried could be made to boot. I DID have a USB floppy though, so I booted up a win98 diskette, fdisked the SSD (4 gig solid state hard drive). Then I copied the i386 directory to a SD (secure digital), ran winnt.exe, and when it got to the point of rebooting, it came up with an error 17. Reboot from floppy and fdisk /mbr fixed that.
Performance is pretty good so far. Boots in less than 20 seconds, but that’ll probably increase as I add anti-virus, etc. I installed Open office, Firefox, Microsoft Reader (the main reason for switching… I have a large collection of ebooks), and Asus drivers and utilities and still have over 1 gig left on the SSD (data will be stored elsewhere).
I’ll be tweaking and messing with it for awhile, but I am pleased with myself right now 🙂
