additional chip I am buying an ASUS 1015PED. I will be using it for web surfing and some word processing. Should I buy the 2G upgrade chip?

I would recommend to update your bios, I just did that and now my Memory chip worked, GREAT! feels like a brand new Laptop!

I guess you need to buy the one from Crucial, I bought one non-branded that came from a HP Laptop with the same specs as the OEM but 2 gb and didn't work, good luck!

Be careful which RAM you buy. On some vendor's forums I read where many problems were caused by the vendor recommending the wrong part#. Check Kingston or Crucial's sites for the correct item #before ordering any RAM.

I bought the 'ASUS Eee PC 1015PED' and I bought the 'Crucial CT25664BC1067 2GB 204-PIN PC3-8500 SODIMM DDR3' for it and it works perfect.Crucial CT25664BC1067 2GB 204-PIN PC3-8500 SODIMM DDR3 Memory Module

I bought this chip and put it in the 1015PED 3 times. It didn't work. I ended up sending it back and got the Crucial CT1441337 - this is the faster of the 2 chips they have for the computer. Works like a charm.

I was wondering the same thing . . . and can you just add a 1GB chip in that additional slot?? We have one arriving today -- so I'll check out the documentation.

The e6700 is a 2 core processor that fits the 775 socket. This particular processor is 2.6GHz where your current processor is 3.4GHz so just swapping the two would not be an upgrade. After a quick search I found a site that recommended the Core 2 Duo E8400 over your current processor. Bear in mind that you probably would not notice a change in speed, even with that processor, as it's a lateral shift from one to the other in power. I would recommend checking some tech sites for what your motherboard can handle before making a final decision. You'll need to know your computer model, motherboard, etc to get a solid answer.

Yes, I upgraded mine. Just remember it's a memory hog so hopefully you don't have a 16GB device with little storage. I have a 32GB device.

Hi Deborah, the 8 chips are really not important, what is important is that the one you received is 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 Non-ECC SODIMM. Here is a link to someone doing the upgrade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_FiUCfyiQw the one he is installing is 2GB and only 4 chips. Side note: as technology progresses memory manufactures are able to get more memory on a single chip; usually at a lower cost. The 8 chip version has 256MB per chip and the 4 chip version has 512MB per chip (or 256MiB and 512MiB to be technically correct).

No these are two sticks of 1 GB each. so if you 2 GB you might be having the same thing. This will not give any upgrade to you. Also for me one stick didn't work, had to throw it.

That's up to you, but remember RAM runs at the speed of the slowest chip. So if your 2GB is slow, your new Ram will run slow. Going from 2GB to 8GB is a big jump, so you could probably even just take out the 2GB and be fine. It also depends on if you want to upgrade later. Good luck!

i ordered a 2GB upgrade built by Hynix from Amazon today. I will update you with success/failure situation in a week or so...2GB DDR2 RAM PC6400 800MHz 200PIN SODIMM by Hynix...actually derives from OEMPCWorld...Hynix and Unifosa are two brands of ram purportedly supported by ASUS

Jose, someone in one of these forums suggested a 2 gig memory card from a different manufacturer, other that Crucial. I forgot which one it was but, apparently that one was working fine in the Asus. I am now quite happy with the performance of the factory 1 gig so, I do not plan to upgrade.

According to the manual it can handle some vendor's RAM up to 2400 Mhz. Suggest you visit support.asus.com and check out their info on Qualified Vendor Lists.

My computer works fine with the original 1gb ram chip so I am wondering if it was the 2gb chip I installed that caused the problem. I originally bought the crucial 800ghz module rather than the 667 as I had read that it would not cause any problems even if the computer could not fully use the 800. The Asus website does not even list this computer, let alone the memory recommendation so I am at a loss. I returned the 800 to Amazon but hate to replace it with the 667 in case that is not the correct memory either. Any suggestions would be helpful.

No. The gigabyte has a faster clock speed, and the extra 2GB of RAM allow for better performance at higher resolutions. If you don't plan on running multi-monitor or a 27" or greater monitor the 2GB version should be fine.

Not really. If you are browsing the web and word processing I would go with 2.0 GHZ. I would use the extra money to buy the extended applecare or add more memory.

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide.Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round.also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

We have 2-4gig & 1-8gig (all corsair blue) running in a server with an Asus mb. Most newer mbs support mixed memory fine. Some perform a little better with memory in pairs, so just in case, I would check the mb docs & put the 4g pair in the lower slots. Another suggestion is to run benchmark or Windows experience with only the 4g pair, then only the 8g.

Its is upgradable to 8.1. That's what Im using right now as I type. It will take up to 16GB of Ram at 1600Mhz. Ive never looked at the battery upgrade. Mine will run hard for a couple of hours on the stock battery or will get to the 6 hour mark surfing the net etc. You'll get about 3 -5 hours of Netflix or movie watching. You cannot upgrade the motherboard without MAJOR modifications.

I have a different model (1001P) but am having the same trouble. I also have the Crucial 2GB upgrade in mine. I might test the old 1GB chip to see what it does, I haven't tried much yet...

I have been quite happy with my ASUS 1015PED Netbook that I actually never ended up purchasing this memory upgrade. I did shop around a little more and found that this one still is the most recemended. It is a great deal as well, which is why it is usually out of stock.I would recomend this one and I may still get this one. However for right now, I upgraded my ASUS netbook to Windows 7 Professional and it runs great. No need for more memory right now.Sorry I can't be of more help.
