asus 1000he ram upgrade

[see4el9]

what ram does it take...like ddr1 or like ddr2 or what

[damixt]

@see4el9 it takes ddr2

[tkfreak1]

never hold ram on the chips

always on both sides

[ricur552]

Dont you have to put in the RAM in pairs. Like you do on a stationary computer if you know what i mean

[damixt]

no the computer only fits one stick

[ricur552]

so is there a special RAM i should buy or is it just like a regular but version "DDR2". I just wanna know what i should look for so i dont buy the hardware that works on the computer.

thanks!

[kidz28]

Thanks, worked great. FYI: Same instructions as the 1000h.

[Nick1979BN]

why does it boot so much faster than mine?! :D

[sanybyc]

Money video, worked perfectly. You rock man, take it easy!

[searobin]

Your commentary was excellent. It worked exactly like you showed. Thank you, Damixt!

[jmaterne]

Here are the new properties displayed under System Properties after the installation :

CPU N80 @ 1.66 GHz --> OK

980 MHz (???), 1,99 Go Ram

Why 980 instead of the previous 1,66 GHz ?

THANKS !!

[ikcti]

Intel Speedstep. It lowers the CPU clock when it is not under load to save power as well as to reduce heat.

[phiemail]

I upgraded to 2Gigs. Worked flawlessly. Running multiple apps seem smoother. Thx for sharing Damixt!

[skofield9]

kingston is 667MHz or 800Mhz?and asus eeepc

1000he support 800Mhz?

[Morninjuice]

and can u use msn on it?

[Morninjuice]

silly question but if i buy 1 new an do this the day i get it i take it the warrenties void, an also will this upgrade cause any problems as im not a computer wizz i dunno if itl cause problems and do u need any new software or setup program to install the ram chip?

[Eilig1978]

thx a lot. It worked out great

[cathco9]

Thanks damixt! Awesome video. Wroked like a charm.

[johnclavis]

Thanks very much for your video. I was able to do my 1GB -> 2GB upgrade very easily (after a scare where I realized I hadn't pushed the memory in far enough and the PC wasn't booting!). Love it!

[chad718bx]

Hi, I just bought this same exact netbook, i also bought the 2gb ram up grade, but when i installed the new ram the netbook turns on but the screen remains black and then it turns off after a while. Can some please help me??

[johnclavis]

You might have had the same problem I did at first. You can just tilt the memory card in and then clip the tabs closed -- you really have to push the card into the slot so that it sinks in 1-2 mm, and THEN tilt it down so that the clips really sink into the punched-out slots on either side. THEN it will boot up okay. I almost returned the memory card because it didn't work at first (blank screen and no boot, like you had). Hope that's the problem. Good luck!

[redcat608]

Thank you so much for this video. At first, I wasn't getting any video on my screen, then I watched your tutorial and everything is fine now!

Does the ram upgrade consume more power?

[lliscia]

This is a very educational and helpful video that answered every possible question on this RAM upgrade. Yes, by the way, it is DDR2 RAM, but sites like Amazon point you to the correct type when you bundle your purchase.

Wonderful job, Damixt.

[Plainly]

Can anyone tell me please:

does the EEE 1000he use the same DDRII 667 memory sticks like classic normal sized laptops, or does it use smaller sticks?

[teamkb]

DDR2 SODIMM 200pin modules

[Plainly]

oh so that's normal DDR2 like regular (somewhat old) laptops.. thank you teamkb.

[cemcc]

Thanks, Damixt! I got the card in okay, but didn't know what it wasn't being recognized. After rebooting a few times while pressing F2 and not getting the BIOS screen, I finally figured out to pop the battery out, put it back in, and try again. It worked perfectly... F2, then F10 to save, and now my upgrade is recognized. Thanks! (For those who asked if the upgrade helped, with 1GB streaming video from Fancast was choppy, with 2GB it plays smoothly)

[kehalvor]

Hi Damixt: Thanks much for the great video --- we just upgraded on my machine, one dropped screw, one flashlight later, putting the new ram, old ram, new ram in, we figured out how to do it - paying close attention to how you pushed in and popped in the new ram was critical -- couldn't have done it without you, thanks!

[jfseeker]

Need the bios assistance for the upgrade. Good job thanks for the help

[snooper91]

is it hard to install all the drivers like sound drivers and graphic drivers and so on ?some dude wants 65$ to do that and se if everything is working, is it worth ?

[gunfytr45]

Thanks, damixt. I bought a 1000HE this evening and the 2Gb card, and followed along with your video to do the upgrade. It made it very easy.

[gary31570]

Hitting F2 is necessary, otherwise the system will not recognize the upgraded RAM.

So again, just hit F2, and then F10 to update and apply the changes.

[3lluzion]

Thanks, but you should have included what kind of ram (ddr 2 blah blah) . but good vid overall!

[DasOrchid]

thank you for this video.

i just ordered a 1000HE with a 2 gig ram module. wohoo :)

thanks again

[rewabc]

very nice job. everything worked just like you said it would.

[anzonix]

If you can do it with one had, I could easuly upgrade. :D

[NobleNimrod]

Very nice - thanks! I did just as you said, popped in a Crucial CT25664AC800 memory I bought from Amazon, and all is well. The compartment cover sticks a bit when you lift it up, but don't worry. There are no flanges on the sides - just two at the bottom, on the side opposite the screws.

[utahskier1]

Thanks - I was nervous but you made it easy.

[bsd]

Thanks for the tutorial, saved me from my paranoid state thinking that unscrewing those 2 screws weren't enough.

[XxINCHAINSxX]

Me too, I was just sitting there staring at it...O.o

"Is this enough?"...

[chascow]

Great job. Watched it once to see exactly what I needed to do and you covered it well. Thanks.

[t3hsniper]

man nice to see they make it easy to install more ram...i take it that 2gb is the top it can handle?

[Un533N]

2GB is Maximum limit for windows XP 32bit to handle.

[t3hsniper]

nope got 32bit does support more that 2gb it supports up to 3gb. I have 32bit xp and know it for a fact being i have 4gb ddr2 dual channel and it only sees the 3gb.

[markii63]

2GB is the maximum the chipset can handle.

[t3hsniper]

Thank you for the correct answer. There was another video that someone had it stuck in their head that it was xp32 bit's maximum which I already knew can use a max of 3GB.

[t3hsniper]

never mind that person was in this video I just didn't scroll down far enough.....

[sanfranciscobay]

I'm new to computer ownership but I have used computers for search for years.

1. Why and when should a person upgrade the RAM on this model?

2. What does it do better if you add it or does worse if you don't add it?

3. Is any RAM ok or should a person buy a certain make and model?

4. What do you do with your 1 GB RAM when you remove it, if the eee is the only computer you own?

5. Is it worth anything online/ebay/craigslist...?

Thanks

[Un533N]

it depends my friend on whatever u want to use it.

Let's say ur running alot of programs such as FIrefox / email client / Adobe Photoshop / MSN client / and of course Anti Virus.

if ur on 1GB RAM then ur eeepc will start run slowly . and cant handle multitasking Editing n Browseing ... u will notice that ur laptop become slow to respond.

But If u plug the 2GB RAM , then u will notice the difference , ur eeepc will handle alot of multitasking n programs running perfectly without being slow .

[sanfranciscobay]

Thankyou for your answer.

How about these questions:

1. What do you do with your 1 GB RAM when you remove it, if the eee is the only computer you own?

2. Is it worth anything online/ebay/craigslist...? What do you do with it?

3. If 1GB RAM is Factory, 2 is upgrade, what about 3,4 or more? Would that be helpful?

[Un533N]

i'll answer ur questions:

1- the eeepc comes with 1 memory slot because its a (Netbook), but other (Notebook)cames with 2 memory slots, which means how about using the unplugged 1GB RAM of ur eeepc on one of ur family laptop that supports DDR2.

2- to be honest not worth it. save it for any regular laptop upgrade that cames with 2 mem slots.

3- nope .. 2GB is Maximum limit for windows XP 32bit, windows XP cant read more than 2 GB RAM, but vista n Windows 7 can read up to 8GB +RAMS.

^ - ^

[WackoJaAckO]

Wrong, 4GB is the max Windows 32bit can address. 64bit can address up to 17.2 BILLION GB of ram. The 2GB limit comes from the chipset that the Intel Atom platform uses, rather then 32bit technology itself.

[jimbotron70]

Nice tutorial .

Anyway I think the BIOS step is useless, any modern BIOS does the job automatically.

[jrockowitz]

Very helpfully, I was hesitant to snap the cover off and found this video.

BTW, The laptop manual (508) recommends to disable your bios Boot Booster before updating any hardware. Which is what I did but I would bet I did not have to do it.

[CKCurley64]

could you put windows 7 on this wen it comes out?

[carlosp120]

Thanks!. I'm getting my 1000he in 2 days. Can't wait!

[MuKo18]

So it means, that you have it now?

Im getting me 1000he tomorrow!

[swinghi]

Wallace, same thing happened to me. It didn't seat very well.

[rodetubetube]

Nice video! Key ingredients is F2 and then F10 during the BIOS setup!!! Works like a charm!!!!

[Moonface00z]

Can someone reply me ? can 1000HE use 2GB 800 MHz ?

[DaFinestx]

yes it can but it wont benefit you because the maximum clock speed is 667mhz so it will automatically downclock the ram speed

[J1isCrazy]

awesome video im getting mine tommorrow i have the ocz pc2 5400 2 gb stick is that the right one

[aznisles]

gave you a thumbs down by accident, sry. anyway, if the stick is a 200 pin sodimm module then it should work just fine.

[Withywindle101]

Thanks I just got my Eee and I came straight back here to follow the video to do the ram upgrade worked like a charm

Cheers Mate!

[istayaway1]

I just did this. My 1000 seems to load pages faster and spend less time "thinking" Good video man. MAKE SURE YOU PRESS THE RAM IN FIRMLY OR YOUR PC WONT START!!

[asCii88]

What kind of screw driver do you need to do this? It looked much smaller than a normal Phillips.

[cinquade]

You can get the 2 gig stick on amazon for $23.

[flymv92]

newegg for 19.99

[aznisles]

plus newegg doesn't have the $25 minimum to qualify an item for free shipping. they do add tax if you live in jersey though.

[lightthatblinds]

Wow! It looks really simple, and I'm usually very intimidated by the internals of any computer! Thanks for the video!

Is hitting F2 when starting again necessary, or are you just confirming that the RAM installed correctly?

[freekufnaytur]

Hitting F2 is necessary, otherwise the system will not recognize the upgraded RAM.

So again, just hit F2, and then F10 to update and apply the changes.

Im getting mine today, and will receive the 2gb stick on friday from amazon!! I cant wait :)

[Moonface00z]

When to hit the F2 or F10 ?

[wallaces99999999]

At start up but "Before!" the Windows welcome screen appears.

[wallaces99999999]

Thank you for your post about hitting F2 and F10.

My new ram stick didn't seat properly so the Asus wouldn't start.

On the third try I gently wiggled the stick into the seat and it started up but didn't show the upgrade - I used the F2 and then F10 to save and exit after it showed the 2 gig.

[rushhound]

Hitting F2 is totally not necessary. It has NOTHING to do with the system recognizing the memory. I have the exact Asus. I simply installed the RAM, booted up and verified under "My Computer" that the memory was installed.

[cathco9]

I had to do F2/F10. My system didn't see the upgrade until I did it.

[damixt]

i dont know if the 2 gig makes it faster because i upgraded right when i got it sorry.

[roccosperanza]

Does the 2Gb make it any faster? Less sluggish when running multiple programs?

[damixt]

yea that is the right one

[4zion4life]

is this the correct type? laptop 200 Pin SO-DIMM PC5400 DDR2 667mhz

[4zion4life]

damn i cant wait to get mine, shipped couple days ago!!!

[Chewyfood]

You probably shouldn't wear a hoodie the next time you do a video with overhead view.

[Duskris]

What type of memory used?..where i can buy this memory?...please give me some link...thanks!

[AltimaNEO]

So its fairly easy to upgrade, nice. Some of the other netbooks need you to take the whole thing apart.

Any real performance difference with 2 gigs vs 1?

[kompulsive]

I'm still torn between this netbook and the Samsung NC10. I think I'm going to spend the little extra money and get the NC10 though.

[damixt]

yea the touchpad buttons are quite stiff, i dont like that very much. I just got the 2 gig because i was at frys electronics and i saw it on sale. im not planning on using it for anything special.

[Spaco1]

Thanks for the video! I'm jealous and can't wait to get mine.

What are you planning on doing with it that would take advantage of the 2gb? I'm debating on whether this is necessary for me or not.

Also, it sounded like the touchpad buttons were quite stiff, is that correct?

[WestRoxGrl]

thanks for the vid. I'll be doing this the day my blue 1000he shows up

[Javier140290]

Awesome man, that's the best laptop on the market right now, congratulations!

I've read that it weights 1400g, does it feel like that or no??
