Hi, a few questions if you have a moment,

What is the max RAM the u100 will recognise

if the answer is 2gb, is this a xp bottleneck or the motherboard?

thanks!

Hi, as i remember it, there's a max of 2gb ram on the motherboard. But I'm not 100% sure.

these are specific requirements to it being a "netbook" plus no optical drive allowed. they tried to release a "hybrid" but microsoft refused to liscence windows to them because it didn't fall under the "netbook" category. 2 gb ram max

Hi,

It sounds like an OS thing.

How is the performance of Win7 on the Wind? If you compare the performance with a Wind running WinXP.

I tried that same Kingston ram on my MSI Wind U100-420US running Windows 7 and got memory dumps and rebooting. Took that stick back to the store and it ran fine on an ACER running XP...I tried Muskin 1GB DDR2 PC5300 and no problems. I have read others using Kingston ram with no problems so I am not sure if this is an OS thing.

I haven't tried upgrading the U120. That model is not on the market in Denmark yet.

Is it sure that you can't upgrade memory on the new MSI U120?

i was debating on the samsung nc10 until i got the msi wind today with 2gb ram upgraded for 450usd

Not a big difference :(

But at a price of aprox 35$ it was worth trying

Pity they don't offer a specific RAM door like the eee does - I don't like the idea of having to remove the entire back just to get to the RAM.

Your wind working more faster with 2Gb or not ? I mean is there really big difference in 1 and 2 Gb ?
