The Eee gets a memory boost

Deciding to spend my credit note immediately at CPL earlier today, I picked up a 2GB stick of 667MHz DDR2 SODIMM, for laptops. Getting home, I popped open the Eee (breaking the warranty void if seal broken sticker), took out the 512MB stick, and replaced it with the 2GB of RAM.

Booted it up, and the Eee is going faster than ever. XFce4 with 2GB RAM is just fabulous. Best $69 that was spent today.

I was looking for RAM sometime last month, even in Kuala Lumpur, and was told that it was all out of stock, so I’m generally thrilled I managed to grab it here, today.
