Nabbed one earlier this morning. Just did a little googling and it seems that a RAM upgrade may be possible.

Ram is esy to swap on this to a 2gb stick (only 1 slot total)....but beware folks, this is one of the best quality netbooks around, I've tried several...but they all are painfully slow and are only good for web surfing and then it is one open window at a time. XP SP3 seems to want to update all the time and slows these down to a crawl.

XP SP3 seems to want to update all the time and slows these down to a crawl. Did yours have an SSD hard drive? If so that could explain the slowness. SSD drives can't write over the top of old, "deleted" data like regular hard drives can; they must erase the space before they can write there again... kinda like you have to erase a chalkboard before you can reuse an area of it. The solution? I suspect CCleaner's "clean free space" feature is specifically for this, but I haven't had the chance to try it out yet.
Wow Amazon had this one for $199! Darn it! QVC had it for $499 over the weekend. This is nuts on the TV these netbooks are overpriced. Amazon is going crazy with netbook deals. I wonder if Toshiba will be the next netbook to cut it's prices. Just have to stay on top of it!

We'll see, I got it as a gift for my sister...I'm going to put Win7 on it before anything else.
