[Wylug-discuss] Fwd: Upgrading the netbook [Incident: 150205-000843]

[Anne Wilson]

Has anyone here any experience in significantly upgrading a netbook?  My
AA1 dual-boots Mageia and Windows 7 Starter Edition.  I know that Win 7
Starter Ed. doesn't support more than 2GB RAM, but was hoping that Acer
would admit that the hardware was actually capable of more.  As you see,
I'll get no help there.

I've not got much to lose - it's so slow as to be almost unusable with
just 2GB RAM, but it's still handy to take on holiday.  I hate typing on
touch screens. :-)

Anne

Regarding your query, you can upgrade the memory upto 2GB on this unit.

Since you have already installed 2GB memory, this unit will not support

Please contact a local technician while adding a hardware to the product.

I like to take my netbook on holiday, but it is unbearably slow and I'd
like to upgrade it. Will the hardware support more memory than the 2GB
currently installed? I'd like to buy Windows 7 Home Premium for it, but
2GB really isn't enough.

Any other hints?
