Hello Everyone

Do you guys know in Johannesburg a shop that can upgrade Aspire One RAMs, I have 512Mb willing to move to 1,5Gb.

Many thanks
 
Do you specifically want someone ELSE to do it? You CAN do it yourself.
 
Try it yourself its fun, sit at a table be patient and enjoy taking your Aspire apart i did. I'm doing the HDD upgrade soon swapping the SSD for a real HDD
 
I also want to do my RAM soon. I'd prefer to use good quality RAM, but I can only find good 667 MHz or no name brand 533 MHz. I read that some faster modules give errors. Has anyone tried, and what ram did you use?

1GB 667Mhz worked 100% for me. Cheapo ram perfect for me ;)
 
I don't see why the faster RAM would give issues; it'd just get clocked down to the supported speed. Netbooks are just like other computers; the same rules apply. Except the ones regarding space in the chassis ;)
 
Not for the feint of heart. Ram socket is below the MB, so you have to strip the whole laptop down. I used a DDR2-800 SOdimm in mine, works like a charm.

Now to find some big SD cards(16/32Gb),a 9 cell battery and a 1.8" zif drive.

So where did you source a zif drive? I can't seem to find any in SA.
SD card is a quick way of getting space in the acer. Not best solution, but it works.

Also loaded Ubuntu netbook remix on it, waay better than the linpus. :D
 
I'd rather pay someone experienced to do it... I have watched a tutorial on youtube, seems too risky for my hands
 
So most you guys are upgrading the hardward, either ram or ssd/hhd.

Standalone, without the upgrades, anybody how this thing would handle windows 7?

It likes the extra ram. Mine's the 120gb hdd version - I am so happy not to have the SSD one.

Ran mine std with only the ram upgraded to 1.5GB ran perfect and fast. so with 512mb i think it will still run fine just disable all the pretty "effects" and you should be fine.

One problem i have with the Aspire SSD version is that the SSD in it is the worst slowest piece of ***** reject stront ever.

would have thought the SSD would have been faster then a HDD.
 
They are slow on writing, so every time a data is written to the SSD, the machine is barely usable...
