The ASUS Eee PC 1000H ships with 1GB RAM. Please take a look at the following guide, if you want to upgrade your machine and you are not so sure about the individual steps and what kind of memory module to by.
All i can say: “It’s really easy!”
The 1000H has only one Slot for Standard 200pin DDR2 SO-DIMM, so you have to remove the existing 1GB memory module that comes preinstalled and exchange it with the new 2GB memory module.
Currently these are the most common DDR2 memory speeds:
- 533 MHz (PC4200)
- 667 MHz (PC5300)
- 800 MHz (PC6400)
The Mobile Intel 945GSE Chipset supports a maximum memory speed of 533MHz (PC4200). There will be no advantage in memory speed if you use 667MHz or 800MHz Memory, as they will always be downclocked to 533MHz.
What we need:
- a small Screwdriver
- a 200pin DDR2 SO-DIMM with 2GB
Note:
To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface (such as a connector on the back of the computer).
1. Remove Battery and Upgrade Panel
Turn off the Eee PC, place it with the bottom face up on a soft cloth (to protect the top from scratches) and remove the battery.
Unscrew the marked screws with your screwdriver and place them aside. Now you can gently remove the upgrade panel that covers the hard drive and the single DIMM slot with the preinstalled memory module.
2. Remove preinstalled Memory Module
Use your fingertips to carefully spread apart the marked securing clips on each end of the DIMM slot until the module pops up. Now you can remove the memory module from the slot.
3. Replace new Memory Module
Before you insert the new memory module, align the notch in the memory module with the tab in the DIMM slot. Then slide the memory module firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and rotate the memory module down until it clicks into place.
4. Replace Upgrade Panel and Battery
Align the tabs on the upgrade panel to the bottom of the computer and gently replace the upgrade panel. Then replace and tighten the two screws on the upgrade panel and slide the battery back into the battery bay.
5. Power up Eee PC
Turn on the Eee PC and immediately press “F2″ to enter BIOS Setup. On the first screen under System Memory you should see “Installed Size: 2048MB”. If everything went fine you can exit BIOS Setup with “Exit & Save Changes”.
If you miss this step, it may be possible that the system configuration information will not be updated and your operating system still shows only 0.99GB of installed RAM.
good read, thanks, it helped me to upgrade my 1000H.
Hi, thanks for the guide I found it very useful.
What memory maker did you buy? I’d like to buy the same as yours so that I know that it works fine once bought.
Ta!
A helpful note!
The two screws wouldn’t come completely out of the holes in my case — one of them had a washer that held it in, so I just lifted the panel out with that screw still in it.
Thanks.. 2GB came right up. It worked Great… I just got the EEE PC 1000H Friday. I gave it a test run today and so far its running great… Battery life is very good along with the 802.11n Wifi connection.. I had it running on battery for 4 plus hours w/ wifi on and I still had 1.5 left on my status bar..
Any Suggestions forr Cheap Places to shop for this 2gb ram ???
Thanks! Great guide, worked fine here
hi, i thank u very much for the useful tip u provided . i had installed a transend 2 gb ram but the system configuration was showing only 0.99 gb RAM . But with ur help i could confirm it as 2 gb .thanks .
One of the most helpful websites… everything clearly defined
So, if i buy a ddr2 800 chip, it won’t cause any problems?
a 4G module will work?
Thanks for the quick tutorial. I knew it was easy, but its nice to see it! I am so in love with this little unit. Could have spent 1800 bucks on a macbook air, but 300 bucks for the same thing…. no brainer.
Cheers!
eee pc 1000h can support 2gb ram with 800mhz fsb??
can someone be a bit more specific (and tutorial-like) about how to do the bios update to allow the system to recognize the 2G RAM upgrades?
OK, sorry to be a total noob…I now see that the bios is upgraded by going into the asus update mode…per the instructions in the eee pc owner’s manual. Duh. Do it; it works and my system now recognizes the 2gb GSkill F2-5300CL4S DDR2667 RAM upgrade…
Hello webmaster
I would like to share with you a link to your site
write me here preonrelt@mail.ru
The Guide is very clear and accurate and if followed should be no problems for anyone upgrading the memory.
Thanks….worked great. I got a 2 gig from NewEgg for $20 including shipping. Didn’t have to do anything with the bios just booted and check for ram in My Computer…
hey thanks! I didn’t know you had to go to the BIOS to get recognizing the extra memory!
thanks for these simple clear instructions
Hello all,
My Eee already has 2GB, but I was wondering – can I install more? Do 4GB chips exist in this configuration? Is 4GB above the max the system will recognize?
Thanks!

Super nice!
But is this possible that the system uses only half of RAM?
Can anyone please tell me what the maxium amount of ram and the hard drive i can put into my eee pc 1000h/xp
thanks

Technology really is an inescapable aspect of our daily lives, and I am 99% certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don’t mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside… I just hope that as memory gets less expensive, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It’s a fantasy that I dream about all the time.
