Computer thickie question, which memory stick for this computer

bootman

I have just ordered the Tesco Acer Aspire One A110L White N270 512MB 8GB 8.9" Net Book for my 11 year old for Christmas.

Can I please ask what is the cheapest 2GB memory stick I can get for this.

I was not sure if some are or are not compatible.

I am afraid I am a hopeless mum when it comes to computers!

try the crucial website - which will list the type of RAM you need. then you can just have a look at the various shops that sell that type of memory and play them off for prices.

Not sure if you are intending to upgrade the memory yourself, but according to this thread on HUKD it is quite a tricky procedure as you have to remove the keyboard to do it:

You do not need 2GB on an Acer Aspire ONE. 1GB is more than enough and 512MB I think you'll find is just fine.

The original question asks what memory stick NOT which ram.

It is a memory stick I need to get. My son has to have homework on a memory stick and take it into school to load up onto the schools computers.

I just wanted to check really is there a right or wrong stick to get, I was not sure if one fits all.

I have seen that play.com have 2gb ones for £4.99.

Thanks

Flash drive is a flash drive, I'd just get the cheapest.

Any usb memory stick will fit, Play have some good deals at the moment, I bought a 4gb for 5.99 recently.

If its for school as posted , suggest getting cheapest available, forget size
A couple of 1gb better than a 4gb ( it will get lost!)
Also look at those without caps, another item to lose.

Without wishing to cause panic and alarm, are you sure you want to buy a linux(i.e. not windows) based machine for him?
