Asus Eee pc

To whom it may concern,

Does anyone know if any kind of hardware on this Asus Eee pc is easy to upgrade? ASUS Eee PC 1000 40G – Fine Ebony NetBook Intel Atom 10.0" Wide SVGA 1GB Memory 40GB SSD Integrated Graphics

Specifically I would like to know if the ssd can easily be replaced? Or does replacing the hardware require me to use a soldering tool among other tools?

I believe that model has 2 SSD's, an 8gb and a 32gb. If it is like my 901, the 32gb is easily replaced, it is right under the RAM cover panel. The smaller one, I'm not so sure about. They are similar to a mini-pci card, but they aren't really mini-pci devices, two screws and they pop right out.

This place sells SSD upgrades for many netbooks:

What about the other hardware? Maybe the ram and memory?

Does anyone know of a site where a picture of ram cover panel is taken off is displayed? Preferably on a Asus Eee pc 1000 model.

Can anyone tell me which installation Ubuntu Eee is. Is it the 32-bit installation or the 64-bit installation? I'm assuming it is the 32-bit installation for the 1000 models.

Yes, it is 32-bit, the Atom is a 32-bit processor.

I want to install gos by the following these instructions, but there is one thing I do not understand from the steps.

It says to place what I burned on the dvd into the usb drive. Does that mean that the Eee pc has a built-in usb drive and that it will be identified on the desktop or do I place the files that are on the dvd onto an external usb flash drive and boot from that?

It is referring to an external USB attached CD/DVD drive.

Polanski · 11-14-2008, 04:30 PM

I don't have a usb cd/dvd drive. Is there a way to install it from a usb flash drive like Ubuntu Eee does it?
