| 1297818 | 2012-08-30 02:51:00 | I have an Asus Eee 1015PED netbook which has 1Gb of RAM. If I had another 1Gb of RAM installed, would I notice a significant increase in response.? | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1297819 | 2012-08-30 03:07:00 | I think you would, however, is the boot booster enabled on your machine? I know on my 1201n with 2 GB RAM that with it enabled only 700 MB of RAM are available (turns the thing into a complete dog)! Disable it and suddenly all my RAM is back and the machine works nicely. |

| 1297820 | 2012-08-30 04:23:00 | Thanks. I am not familiar with 'boot booster' but will check it out. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1297821 | 2012-08-30 04:26:00 | What OS does it run? you can look in task manager to get an Idea of RAM usage, in XP under the performance tab the Peak commit charge is the maximum amount of RAM it has used at any given point in the current session and if it's close to 1GB then you would benefit from more RAM. I'm not sure how exactly you tell under windows 7 or other OS's. I have an older EeePC (1000HD I think) running XP with 1GB of RAM and I was thinking of upgrading but it seems like there would be little benefit for me. A newer OS would almost definately run better with more RAM. (I had a brief flirtation with the Idea of a SSD and 2GB of RAM but decided that was craziness on a $300 netbook) |

| 1297822 | 2012-08-30 04:55:00 | It runs Windows Starter. I guess it also depends on the cost of the extra RAM. And getting the right RAM may also be a problem. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1297823 | 2012-08-30 07:13:00 | You can never have too much RAM (at least, unless your OS doesn't support it, but starter is limited to 2GB so that would be fine) | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1297824 | 2012-08-30 07:48:00 | As Agent_24 says you can never have too much. I put another Gig in my MSI u100. Well worth it. Just check what yours can take as some can't take extra and are limited to the size. |

| 1297825 | 2012-08-30 07:57:00 | I just put a SD card in mine and use it as ready boost as I can't afford more RAM yet although that's in my HP Mini | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1297826 | 2012-08-30 09:48:00 | Thanks. I am not familiar with 'boot booster' but will check it out. It is accessed in BIOS, under boot. |

| 1297827 | 2012-08-30 10:25:00 | Thankyou All. Appreciate your comments and help. Ready boost looks promising if it will function in my Netbook. | Pato (2463) | ||
