  • Keith · 5 months ago
    Question:
    Its says the ram can be 2GB.
    I want to buy this netbook, but how can i make
    the ram 2GB instead of 1GB when I buy it?

    Best way to get it with extra RAM installed is to order through the toll-free # 800-806-1115 .

    Do not try this at home! That is, let Asus do it. There have been reports at the eeeUser Forum of people frying their computers trying it on their own.

    You can have Linux, some do come with it. It's a great idea for these small machines. Michael D. above was asking about putting the Ubuntu distribution of Linux on this one, I'd think you'd want to start with one of the other models that have a Linux system in it already, so you don't pay the Windows tax.

    I'd love to hear if anyone has this working well with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook) or the standard Ubuntu with all the hardware working?

    They have other Asus models listed here so I'm hoping it's somewhat similar in compatibility?

    Could I ask an employee if they have the netbook with 2GB Ram installed instock, cause I don't have a way of order products over phone.

    Extra RAM must be installed here, at J&R, after we receive the standard netbook. We do not keep a stock of custom configured netbooks.

    At this time we cannot take an order for custom configuration on our site. If calling our 800-806-1115 is not possible or coming to the store in New York is not an option, we can take your custom configuration order through email by using our contact form http://www.jr.com/information/contactUs.jsp

    Asus has always made quality stuff, and they've done a great job with with the 1008HA. I never thought previous models were all that ugly, though :p
