Good cheap netbook upgrade For around 20 bucks after rebate, this 2 GB of SDRAM from OCZ is an excellent deal. I installed it with no problems in my ASUS 1000H netbook, with the system recognizing the 2 GB upon booting. Just make sure you seat the memory into the socket/slot firmly before pushing the raised edge of the module down flat to complete installation.
Although this memory upgrade wasn't necessary for my ASUS 1000H netbook (running Ubuntu), it was useful for my running more resource-hogging virtual machines via Virtual Box. If you're looking for an easy netbook hardware upgrade, this is a good one.
not happy at all I ordered this upgrade for my newly purchased Asus 1000H mini-laptop and I am not a happy camper. The RAM does not show up in my computer's BIOS as 2GB and I think they sent me a 1GB stick that was labelled 2 GB. Customer service is horrendous. Answer your phones people! I just want the memory I paid for... I have wasted so much time on something that should have taken 15 minutes. Replacing RAM in laptops is as easy as it gets, but not when the product does not register correctly and you think you are retarded. This is the worst purchase I have ever made on Amazon. Check out my other reviews. I like everything. It takes alot to disappoint me, but faulty product with no tech support equals unhappy customer. I should have went with Kingston. They are the best. Lesson learned.
Great buy! This memory came quickly, installed easily, and has performed flawlessly. As soon as I can afford it I'll be getting another one so that I have 4gb in my laptop. But the 2.5gb is sure a lot better than 1gb was!
BTW, I put it in an Acer 7520-5757.
2GB chip Used this with another 1GB chip to triple my RAM. My toshiba is faster than ever.
Works great in Macbook Pro! I installed 2 of these in my Macbook Pro running OSX 10.5.x and Windows Vista Ultimate 64. In vista it only showed 3GB of ram but the score was 4.9 on the memory speed test. In Mac I get the full 4GB.
For the price you cant beat this upgrade. Concidering that Apple wants to charge 10x as much you cant go wrong with the upgrade.
How to install it on a Macbook Pro:
Power down the laptop. 1. Remove the battery 2. locate the plate where the battery removal switch is (flat shiney plate) 3. Use a small Philips head screwdriver (size 0) to remove the 3 tiny flat topped screws. 4. You'll then see the memory behind that plate. The trick here is to be firm when installing it. Don't smash it in but use consistent pressure to push the memory in then click it down. If you do it right both chips will line up. If it doesnt look straight then it isn't. Take it out and try again before powering up.
