This keeps your system running off ram memory. 1gig should be plenty for xp I never use more then 500megs with a few things going. 2gigs i think is over kill for the smaller 7in screen puters.

A new motherboard would cost under 99 bucks. More like 50 60 bucks. 701 i bought for 240ish new. Memory, keyboard, case, touchpad, battey, LCD, Inverter and motherboard with ssd. SO 240 bucks divided by all those parts above.. Its still going to be pretty cheap for a new ssd Motherboard then get another 3yrs out of it.. If they sell enough machines, they will offer parts if we all rag about parts. :) pcie or not, really, If your ssd drive dies in 3 yrs or 5yrs etc from having Page filing on.

Bumped up the ram to 2gb and got the xandros kernel updated to support the 2gb ram. As for the minipcie connector, my eeepc is missing it, but I'm not loosing sleep over it. I'll use SDcard to upgrade it in future *if* the ssd should fail. I seriously doubt it will fail in the unit's lifetime. I'll probably be using a 2nd or 3rd gen eeepc before it fail on me. I know how some of us also expected the eeepc to cook eggs for us in the morning and wash our laundry, but let's not punish Asus because it couldn't ok? 'cos they never published it as a product specs for goodness sake! ;) Someone lock down on the comments already! :p Got a 4G (701) /w webcam and just love it.

I know the connector was not in the published specs but the first generation had it and from the first generation reviews I expected it to be there. Now that I bought one and have found it's not there I feel a bit cheated. I did want to use the connector for extra storage so that I would still have the sd slot available for swapping cards between my other protable devices. At least the solder pads are still there. I'll probably be soldering a connector in soon. I have a black 7b with no connector.

You have a $400 carry anywhere pc that you can install any OS you want. OK the memory might fail in 2 years, that's $200 per year cost to you. Then you can always open it up and get a soldering iron out to try and fix it yourself. If you mess it up, just get another one and you will know a lot more. Look at it as a learning platform. Something to play with. If you break it, well consider that folks spend more than $400 on a good time in Vegas. Quit complaining and see the big picture. Asus has shaken up the IT industry which was long overdue and we can all enjoy more focussed hardware and software...Microsoft move over! All this discussion is foolish.
