Hold down the F2 key as you power up. That will bring up the BIOS. Verify that it sees 2GB RAM. Press F10 to save this configuration. After booting up, right click My Computer, Properties. It should show 2GB now.

If you search you tube for 1000HE ram|memory you'll find a clip showing you how to change the memory.

After 2GB install, my Battery only lasts 5 hrs with max power save settings (with wireless on and a few hours of low volume mp3 playback) it used to last 7 hours, FYI. But its worth it!I play UT, 007 night fire, Halo, GTA 3, NFS, SNES, Tony Hawk, Hoyle games, streets and trips, 3d home architect, and more, no problems (but halo has low frame rate)

I installed the upgrade, powered up and held down F2, and nothing happened. I reinserted the original and got the same response. Any suggestions? What did I do wrong?

I never had to go to the BIOS the ram upgrade was fine and showed in properties.And it was much easier to do than with my Acer One.

Dodson,Are you sure you ran a truly equal test? A RAM upgrade should have essentially no effect on battery life. The amount of wattage a typical 1GB and 2GB stick uses is not significantly different.There is a school of thought that a single stick RAM upgrade might even offer longer battery life, as certain processes will be handled by the RAM, minimizing need for the hard drive to spin (reducing the need to access the swap file on the HD). Even if the 2GB RAM used more juice, high current devices (such as the HD) on the PC would be less taxed, creating an overall more beneficial battery load environment.

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.

Yes, you do have to hit the F2,F10 for the bios to recognize the new 2 GB module. Otherwise, it will assume it only has a 1 GB module installed.

Well when i bought this product it was 2x2gb = 4gb. If you buy two of this you will have 8gb but divided into 4 corsair memory, so you will have to check if your motherboard alows or of ot has 4 slots to put the 8

I consider myself fairly savvy but i did not know what SDCZ was.. so i did a quick search and found no memory standard with that designation.. perhaps you mistyped? or has my search-fu failed me?

If you're talking about the seller that says 1GB, it is most likely 1GB. When these first came out, they had only 1GB to start with, and you are able to upgrade to a maximum of 2GB (That's what the motherboard supports; Any more than 2GB and it won't be used - With that said, I wouldn't trust the sellers with 4GB ones.) Even if you did buy a 1GB one, upgrading that to 2GB is VERY cheap nowadays, so you don't have to worry.

You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

No these are two sticks of 1 GB each. so if you 2 GB you might be having the same thing. This will not give any upgrade to you. Also for me one stick didn't work, had to throw it.

I only saw 2 slots when I added a RAM card. Crucial.com says 8gb, so I only added another 4gb card. I haven't tried anything higher, though.

I would recommend to update your bios, I just did that and now my Memory chip worked, GREAT! feels like a brand new Laptop!

It's very easy to upgrade. There is a plate on the bottom front of the laptop that has two screws on one end and then tabs on the other end where you can slip a small flat blade screwdriver on each of the three tabs and gently lift up. The two DIMM slots feed your new memory just like any other soDimm. I just checked to make sure. I already have two 4GB cards in mine, so I'm happy.

The system memory is soldered to the logic board. It is not user upgrade able. The solid state drive is interchangeable/upgradeable.

The memory is only expandable to 16gb. It says 32gb on their website. Kinda dissapointed.

Hello Jim. I am using KVR16LR11S4/8HA at work. For the system at home (using same botherboard) I am also using OCZ Sport (desktop RAM) until I buy good ECC memory. If you're having issues with memory make sure you update your RAM.

Jake,if you can check the Gigabyte website for a listing of memory types,if the you have is supported,then I would remove all but one, restart, repeat, until bad mods are found

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.
