    Yes, it should be recognized instantly if the installation was done properly.

    OK, the repetitive topic about how much memory you can stick in (slightly) older systems..... but that's ok .

    2GB RAM sticks weren't available or really even in production when Asus released the W7 18 months ago to spec into the system, so 1GB was the max added memory that they tested -- hence the 1.5 published max. However, multiple users have reported no problems with 2GB sticks in the system, which are now readily available and reasonably priced. You'll be fine as long as you match the correct ram freq.

    any 2gb SODIMM will work fine, as long as it is DDR2.

    Quick question - is the 2nd non soldered RAM slot easy to get to on the W7S?

    Very easy. 1 screw, and then just pop the little plastic door off, and viola, you can easily access the stick of RAM. Swapping the RAM on my W7S took me less than 2 minutes.

    Couple questions...

    How can I tell the speed of my current ram?

    What type of improvement will I notice in multi-tasking with winxp, as programs don't fire up that quickly with the 1 gig of ram I have. Notebook is the W7J duo T2400 @ 1.83GHz.

    Thanks!
