One of my old friends is going blind from way too many visits to optical
doctors who've ruined his sight with injections of chemicals and drugs. He
gave me a eeePC 701 Linux little netbook with the 4GB SSD he was using as a
Skype phone. I noted it only had 512M of RAM in it so I mistakenly ordered
a 2GB stick for it when I ordered them for my other netbooks.

The 701 Linux box doesn't support 2GB of RAM, but supports the 1GB I took
out of the Samsung NC10 just fine and it did improve its speed, especially
when playing large movies in various formats.

Sure wish I could take the speakers out of the ASUS and swap them with the
crap speakers in the NC10.

The stick I took out of the 701 says it's an SiS Module DDR2 512M-667Mhz
200 pin stick. It needs a home. Memory is so cheap.

I just got a 32GB SDHC card for media storage on the 701. There's no room
on the 4GB drive for anything, much, rendering it quite useless as a media
player, except at home where it can logon to my 4TB of network drives over
wifi or Ethernet and play them directly. The 701 is a cute toy, though.
