Can you upgrade a netbook to over 3gb of ram?

help Please

Does the Eee 1005ha have a Mini PCI-e slot. I would like to put a Crystal HD Video Accelerator. In my netbook. I have a Flip HD camcorder. It really does not work well with it.

Thanks
Joseph

Many netbooks in use came with internal Mini PCI-E Solid state drives and in most cases it is not possible to put in a HARD drive. So, you might want to talk about replacing the stock SSD with larger/faster SSD.

Thanks for the tips Ian. I was tempted to include them, but like some other they aren’t technically upgrades. But I will probably add them in. I never use my laptop / netbook without a mouse unless i have to!

You missed 7 and 8… For all those who have a netbook and use them as a main machine (yes it is possible) then adding the following also helps greatly…

7. Large (20 inches +) LCD
For that perm or semi-perm base where you end up, because 1024×600 is only ok for when you are mobile. When you rest longer than a day in one place, then getting a large monitor is great. Otherwise, hunt around and steal any monitor for that dual monitor goodness.

8. USB Keyboard and Mouse
Again, when you have a perm or semi-perm base it always helps to improve that workspace with USB external mouse and keyboard combined with a USB hub.
