    Hello everyone,


    Actually I saw that we can upgrade the ram of an acer aspire one AOA150 from 1 to 1.5 Go.

    I have one with 1Go and I don't see any test with and without the upgrade to tell me if there is a benefits.

    More speed ?
    More fluid ?

    I have a multiboot with windows XP, hackintosh and Ubuntu.

    I have tried Windows 7 but after the os boots, there is only 180Mo really available ...


    Thank you in advance for your answers

    I've never run before / after tests but I've upgraded the RAM in my previously owned A150 from 512mb to 1.5gb and also my current D250 from 1gb to 2gb. Both times I noticed a performance increase, not necessarily in speed, but more smoothness in whatever applications I run (e.g. flash player etc)

    Worth doing IMO.
