Starter is a dubbed down version. I haven't read good things about it. Best to get a full version. That iriver.com place has sells on full versions for $30.

I've got an Acer One with 160gb drive. After I dropped a second gig of ram in it's actually pretty speedy.

Yup. The ram upgrade on these is No. 1 on the to do list.

Yup. Big price jump.

This explains the different versions of Win7.

I have no idea how to drop rams into anything

How do I do this and how much does it cost?

Can you buy new batteries when they die or upgrade batteries from 3 cell to 6 cell?

Man is it next August yet?? My head is spinning and I have to start selling some eggs to afford all this school stuff. I just spent $175 on an itouch. The nursing app I need to load on it is $160.

I was even wincing when I had to buy a $30 blood pressure cuff. Well at least it has cows printed on it.

There's panels on the back with screws. One panel for ram, one panel for the HDD, and sometimes more or even just one big panel. The gateway one I have has a panel that has a PCI slot behind it. A lot of people found a HD decoder chip that plugs into the slot and allows for HD movie viewing.

Ram is constantly changing prices. I just scan slickdeals.net for prices.


Yes you can buy extra batteries. Also some swap with each other. Acer=gateway. I had both the gateway and an Acer. The gateway has a 6cell batt and the acer a 3cell batt. They both interchanged.

I think I paid about 35 bucks for a second gig of ram. It made a huge difference. My Acer has a little dedicated ram cover with the second slot in it and nothing else. You can't really screw it up because there's only one way to put it in and the one that's already there will look exactly like what you just bought.
