amount of RAM in a netbook
techidave:
I have noticed that most of the netbooks only have 1 gig of memory in them. Is this enough for basic web surfing and email? I figured since most of them have a "starter" OS on them, this is where the difference is.
please advise,
Dave

I've used 1GB netbooks with success, having no problems with web browsing/e-mail (using a web client). It is a bit slower, and more RAM does help. But it's definitely doable.
mrainey:
1GB works fine with XP.
mouser:
i suspect 2gb would make a noticeable difference in performance when doing non-trivial stuff.
techidave:
I think that 2 gb would be best also, but I haven't found one yet that is very inexpensive. Of course, I haven't look to see how hard it is to add one or the price of an extra stick yet.
