News: According to Digitimes Aspire One XP will launch in Taiwan at the end of July, and in the United States and Europe in August. No word on a Singapore launch, though we can expect to be not too far behind the Americans.

From what I read on the aspireoneusers forum, Aspire One doesn't support 2GB RAM. That is, if you install a 2GB stick of RAM, the system won't boot. Think the best you can do is add in 1GB.

sure can boot la

when i was in taiwan i ask the person to upgrade 2GB for me
and i notice what he take out was 512, then i get to know that there is another 512 which is on board. so now my com in 2.5GB but the most it can detect 2GB

out of curiosity, why does the ad have the Vista logo on the Aspire One?

Huh! I thought that the OS is a Linux and the Windows version is not released yet.

What I'm saying is hearsay, but one the AspireOneUsers forum some members are saying that their's can't boot with 2.5GB. Of course, different sticks of RAM and different BIOS could have a different effect.

Which company does your friend work for? Can you ask him to confirm? Because I'm really desperate to get the Aspire One XP version...
