It came with 512MB RAM and an 8GB SSD drive an Linux with a free upgrade to windows XP Home. I changed to an extended battery which gives me about 4,5 hours. I also replaced the SSD drive with a 80GB 1,8inch PATA disk and upgraded the RAM to 1,5GB. I also use a 16GB SD card for some data and software. (You cannot use the SD card space to install applications because it is not available when you boot and creates unpredicable results) I run Windows 7 Ultimate and it works very well. I am using Office 2010 beta which also works very nicely. I have disabled most of the Aero stuff and optimized the system and am very happy to use this as a supplimentary mchine for my full-size notebook when I travel or need mobility. I get the following Windows 7 performance scores: Processor - 2,3 Memory - 4,5 Graphics - 2,1 Gaming - 3,0 Disk - 4,4 Overall score is 2,1 which is acceptable given the mobility. I have noticed that the CPU is not great for multitasking and running lots of applications at the same time. If only your foreground application is busy, the performance is good. If your background applications are busy is slows the whole system down. Good luck. regards Andrew I bought an Acer Aspire One AOA110 netbook last year.

The dealer said it comes with 1 gb ram. So I was wondering if tats enough. If anyone has the same model, please tell me if its possible to play 2 facebook games e.g Farmville and fishville, smoothly at the same time in say Ubuntu or even Windows. I realised on my desktop that these flash games are taking a lot of RAM. So this will be a great help. Hi,

I use the program Maxthon2 as my browser and GOM player and SMPlayer for watching videos. Also formatted my hard drive to NTFS before a fresh install of Win 7 (not an upgrade). Also don't waste your time with Win 7 Starter as it will not let you change your desktop background and has other stupid limitations. Hope this helps.

Of course there are slowdowns when the SSD is being written to. I use 2 ea. 16gb SD cards for storage. I orignally put Win XP on mine (when I replaced Linux) but I never was able to get rid of the lag in access time that would just freeze the OS for minutes at a time. It drove me crazy. I also upgraded memory to 1.5 gb and replace my wireless card with an n card. Two things that I did do was remove Windows Explorer and Windows Media player/media center. Memory tweaks were not needed as Win 7 does a much better job. I am not a fan of Windows Explorer or Windows Media programs so there was no loss at with removing them. I still have 6.09 gb free out of my 14.9 gb and love the new operating system. I put Windows 7 Home Premium on my Acer Aspire One with a 16gb SSD (14.9 formatted) and it works fine.

How easy is it to put an SSD inside? I am not that good with screwdrivers - is it worth the risk? Also would it invalidate the warranty? I have this Acer Aspire one.
