Yeah,

I'm running those on my Asus Eee PC 1000HE as well as MS Project and PhotoShop Vs. 6. I went with the Asus because of the nine hour (more like five in real life with WiFi-n turned on) battery life. Also I stuffed 2 GB of RAM and a 250 GB Hard Drive in it before I even turned it on. The original 160 GB drive with WinXP on it is still pristine.

Unless it is Intel's or G.Skill SSD that costs as much as netbook, then you will not notice the difference...I would not do it.

Enjoy new toy!

Too late

I pulled the 1GB and put in a 2GB stick. Also added a 9-cell battery. Haven't had a chance to test it yet, but I'm sure performance won't be worse for the 2GB.

I think astra was referring to the amount of time needed to boot from hibernate, not how well it runs after it boots. Windows XP, Vista, or 7 will run better in two GB of RAM than it will in one; if only in the number of tasks that can be run concurrently.

I was referring to swapping a real hard drive with SSD.
2G is good
