Bit the bullet and ordered the Asus 1000HE, with a 2GB upgrade card..........in blue.

Should be here Wednesday.
Congratulations! I am so glad I bought mine. We went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg and stayed in a hotel we hadn't stayed in before. As it goes, we ended up getting lost and since Shannon had taken my GPS device, we were able to use MS Streets & Trips on my ASUS to get us to the hotel. We tried calling the hotel for directions, but the clerk was very confusing. Now, I am seriously considering getting a broadband card and service. It would have really come in handy.

I'm now dual booting XP and Windows 7 RC1 on my Asus (installed via USB not DVD). I'm very happy!

Thank you to All4Fun for the link to the EeeUser forums which has been very helpful.

Going to try a little overclocking today. Wish me luck.

Yea, I've seen that one but they are a bit pedestrian. The EeeUser Forum is more like MobileRead with users who push the envelope.

I had no problems. I installed it before ever turning it on and it was recognized right away. I've installed RAM dozens of times and never had an issue (unless I put differing pairs in wrong).
