I used the geekylives link to pop in the new RAM, but the system still says 1 GB. I looked at the device drivers to see if there was a way to tell the computer to look for the extra memory, but I still haven't gotten it to recognize the extra ram, although the computer is working fine.

Jose, someone in one of these forums suggested a 2 gig memory card from a different manufacturer, other that Crucial. I forgot which one it was but, apparently that one was working fine in the Asus. I am now quite happy with the performance of the factory 1 gig so, I do not plan to upgrade.

When you upgraded, did you use 1-2gb stick or 2-1gb sticks?Does the 904ha come with 2-512's, or 1-1gb?Can anyone also recommend a particular model/brand of RAM to buy along with the laptop. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.thanks.

Hello, There is one memory module 4GB installed. You can add another 4GB module. Best regards, Amuras

Yes, it was the 2 Gig memory update. The PC works perfectly since I put back the factory 1Gig memory. It is quick enough even for real multi-tasking where I just don't need to even try an other 2 gig memory product. It is a really sweet netbook PC.

Hello,I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance?Thanks.

I do not need more memory at this time. If I would need more in the future I would go to Crucial.com. This site is very helpful and their prices are competitive. Hope this helps.

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide.Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round.also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

Mine is working flawlessly and was sealed and pristine condition. It is 2GB and I upgraded mine from the same configuration. Installing it isn't too difficult either. Enjoy.

If you want to add any additional gb of memory, you can buy a any DDR3 SDRAM SO DIMM 204-pin Speed 1600 MHz ( PC3-12800 ) (for best performance). But remember you only have 2 slots available for easy access, so if you want to have 16gb in total you'll have to buy a 16 gb dual channel memory(8 gb in each slot), because you already have one 8gb dual channel memory (4gb in each slot). Now if you are willing to disassemble your laptop (at you own risk) you have 2 additional slots below the keyboard. Here is a video demonstrating how to do it www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=MP4myeDK-3U

Please go to youtube, type in your laptop brand and model and search for memory installation. It is a simple process depending on the brand and model. Otherwise get a technician to install it for you.

thanks for the link, also about to purchase Ul20a with the memory you recommended, just wondering if its the same timings and specs than the one that comes inside.

I kept a pdf of the original ad stating 2gb max. and would notify them you were misled that it was upgradeable. False advertising and marketing with most retail sites also had the memory chip being offered as a bundle for extra dough and usually advertised on same page.I had pre-ordered the u120 but after found out no memory upgrades possible, canceled before it shipped. I went with the u100-641(black) sata for future upgrading hd. Upgraded memory to 2gb and purchased a 9cell battery from hongkong, still came out cheaper than the 6cell wind.

just purchase the Ram elsewhere and do it yourself. It's very easy to install. Amazon only sells the pre-configured units from apple.

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.
