I had the same question. It's hard to find information. You just open a door on the back of the unit by the serial number and windows stickers. One screw. This exposes the 1 GB card. You pull this out and plug in the 2GB card. Should take about 10 minutes at the most. Check setup to make sure it recognizes the extra memory.

You guys want a DDR2 200-pin sodimm stick. The max speed (Mhz) isn't important since the laptop will just underclock any memory thats faster than what it can handle, which is slower than most sticks out there.Crucial 2GB Single DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) CL5 SODIMM 200-Pin Notebook Memory Module CT25664AC667There may be cheaper 2gb sticks out there, but this is an example.

The inbuilt memory i have never tried, but should not be too long. I've ordered the 64GB SD card with it, you will have a few hrs recoring with that. Inbuilt memroies are always just a few MB...Greg

I was actually considering spending the extra $130 for another 2gb... Too bad it won't work. Thanks for the help!

I have finally been able to install the 2GB RAM with my ASUS 1000HE turning on but I have the same problem with the system not showing the added RAM.Nothing happens when I pressF2 as you did.Can someone please advise me? I'd really be grateful.

I wrote the following in my review of the 1000HE netbook. Did you follow all these steps? It was a breeze to replace the installed 1GB with 2GB -- remove 2 screws, take off cover, push out the two retaining clips on either side of the 1GB module, take out the 1GB module, put in the 2GB module, press down, replace cover and screws, done! Oh, one more thing. As the computer starts to boot up (and I mean right when it starts to power up) hold down the F2 key to bring up the BIOS. Verify that it sees 2GB of RAM. Then hit F10 to save the configuration. Once booted up, check by right-clicking My Computer, Properties.

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.

If you want to upgrade from 4GB of Ram to 8GB of Ram make sure you purchase one DDR3L memory stick. If you do not get the chip with L at end of DDR3 it won't work. You only need one chip to upgrade, that's what I did. I now have 8GB of RAM/

Hi, I also bought a Asus 1005ha-p from zipzoomfly with a 2g corsair 667 mhz memory. After installing it, it shows only 1 gig physical memory as does the original 1gig. Am I reading something wrong? Why doesn't it show up as 2gig? If someone knows the answer I would apprciate it. I wanted to return it to Zipzoomfly but they are giving me a hard time.

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

No memory included. You must buy your own microSD cards, but they are fairly inexpensive. Buy the most memory you can afford.

Thx. Do you need to replace the memory in 2 gb "pairs" due to the dual channel aspect. Crucial's website said yes. Thx in advance

Mine didn't work either. As a last resort, I thought I'd just just use it as a standard 8gb storage card. No luck. Computer shows it has only 93kb of storage space - not 8gb. Tried reformatting - no change. Just a $35 piece of garbage. My suggestion - throw it in the trash where it belongs.

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

I did a friend a favor some time ago, I purchase the memory and installed it.I believe it was (2 GB sticks) 8 GB total.
