I thought that windows was a bit sluggish, and as i wanted to start testing games out, i decided to shell out about £20 on 2Gb or RAM for the little black beast.

As I thought others mite want to do the same, but be less techy than me i decided to write a guide for you.

Let me start by saying its not a very hard job at all. You will need:

1* 2Gb Stick of Laptop 200pin RAM (I chose some from Corsair, as I like the brand and have always used them for memory with no issues)
1* Cross head screwdriver
1* EeePC
1*Worktop
1* Radiator, or other earthing point

Enought of that.. lets begin! (I will let the pics do most of the talking and at the end i will talk about which RAM you should choose).

Shiney new Corsair RAM for my EeePC from Amazon

The underside of my Eee PC, note the 2 screws we need to remove (1 is under the white EeePC sticker).

remove the battery pack, just to be on the safe side, as we are opening her up.

This is the inside of the EeePC, under the black plastic, you need to lift this up to get at the memory, its very thin.

This is how the 2 ram modules compare

Move the clips left and right of the modual outwoods, the ram should then hinge up, then slide out.

Insert the new ram push it all the way in then hinge it down, it should click into place

Put the battery back back in and tun it on.

Here are the results, 2Gb of ram in the EeePC!

It makes the PC feel a lot faster, especially when using GIMP.

I chose Corsair ValueSelect DDR2 667Mhz 2Gb 200pin ram, this was from amazon

Here are a couple of pics of my Eeepc next to my work laptop, and a pic of me downloading GIMP which is a free image editing software available on the net, which i used to edit the pics before uploading to my blog!

It worked no issues at all. I have ordered my own drive from the net.

The basic rule of thumb is to get the biggest most expensive memory card you can, you want one with a good read/write time as we are going to be using this for more than just transferring images. I intend to use one to store my music and movies on. 8Gb SD Cards are available at around £20 which will be more than enough for me for the moment!

Installation is easy, just remove the memory card blank, supplied with the pc from the slot on the right hand site and insert you memory card. Your computer should auto detect the new memory as removable storage and allow you to start using it in a matter of seconds. To remove, just press the card in and a spring should push it out enough for you to pull it out.

Happy net-booking!
