I am not a real power user when it comes to computers, but it seems to me
that unless you are doing some picture editing or maybe a very few other
programs (which is not usually done on the netbooks anyway) that 1 gb of
memory should be plenty. I guess that with memory being inexpensive, many
want more even if they do not use it or need it.
Guess that I am saying that you match the computer system to the job and the
netbooks just dont need much for what they are designed for . Then there
are people that may want ot do video editing on the netbook and will
complain about how slow it is.
