ram and hard drive

[Guest maxluke1]

Hi as you probably all know i am 12 years old and i want to buy an eee pc to run vista, because it is the cheapest and smallest thing i can buy(i like small laptops, the smaller the better!!) my best subject is ICT i would like also to use the eee pc as something i could take apart and tinker with.

1. How easy is it to install RAM??

2. How much does RAM cost??

3. Where can i buy it from??

4. Can you put a bigger hard drive in??

5. If so can a solid state hard drive be fitted??

Also i need quite a large hard drive, what would be the best external hard drive for under £50???

If I install vista on a eee would i then be able to download windows software, because the hard drive is so small would i have to install apps on a SD card or external hard drive.

Will this fit??http://www.memorybits.co.uk/shop/computer-memory/kingston-value-ram-2gb-(2-x-1gb)-dimm-240pin-ddr-ii-400mhz--pc23200-cl3-nonecc-kvr400d2n3k22g/5573

Thanks Max :)

1: As long as it isn't a Surf version, it's easy (2 screws)

2: £18 or so for a GB, £20-30 for 2GB

3: Nope, the SSD is soldered to the motherboard!

4: n/a :)

The memory I have used for mine is :

In answer to a couple of your other questions, you can install apps on the SDHC card or an external disk. SDHC is much better as it keeps the unit self contained.
