READ BEFORE DOING:
Actually, you want to install the RAM first, because if Windows sees that huge change in hardware, it might say your copy of windows is illegal, because it sees it is different hardware than what you first had.

@Zimba9810, @intruderwings -Ummmm YES you can. It has to be flashed over to the flash drive. I just don’t know how to do it but there is a write up in the Feb 2010 issue of CPU magazine that explains it. Obviously it’s too big an article to quote. Anyway I think that if you disable your storage drive and then boot from DVD to transfer over to the FDD. If I remember the article suggested a 16 Gig FDD. In any case you have the large capacity SSD available to you as well.

Heck I have the 904 HA and I put 2 Gig of GSkill F2-5300CL5S-2GBSK in mine. It was a tight fit but it just clears the case lip, since it has a heat spreader on the chip. And it works great. If you are looking for a bit more speed it makes a difference to do the upgrade.
I wish Linus would have done Windows 7 but looking at how long ago this was 7 wasn’t available yet. But I would like to see it, since it seems to be a common upgrade. I don’t have the SSD however. I got mine with the 120G HDD.

It’s Taiwanese, so you can expect strange pronunciations.

What was not mentioned is that when you use a Static State Hard drive like the ASUs comes with – you need to disable the disk cache. This causes major rewrites to the disk and remember that a Static State Hard drive can only handle so many re-writes before the sector corrupts.

Why would you want to degrade the EeePC by putting an inferior OS on it.
Out of the Box the Eee can be set up to do 99% of everything 90+% of the population needs to do.
If you insist please get NLite to trim the excess from XP.
The WinXP drivers come on the CD with the EeePC
