Update: I've spent ages a week ago with my mate taking this bugger to pieces to install a 1 Gig RAM stick. I'd read that there was only 1 slot, so i'd assumed i'd have to replace the 512 in there...
The good thing was that the 512MB already there was actually chips soldered on to the motherboard, so the 1 Gig stick i had just went straight in, giving me a Gig and a half (i sound like a cadbury's advert LOL).
So....what do i think now?
I'm a little underwhelmed, truth be told.
If i have firefox and Skype open, and then want to open songbird also, it does open the app quicker than it used to. A bit.
Has it changed the way it feels? Not really. Maybe the slowness comes from the hard drive, or the Atom, i'm not certain. It was fine before, it's still fine.
The 1 Gig RAM was free from my mate, so didnt cost me anything other than time, which was interesting just to see the inner working of the whole thing (there are loads of
youtube vids).
I still cant believe that the slot is on the underside in a fairly normal place, but they have no actual hatch cut into the plastic case....
