Working again but v.slowly. Must be in high demand! Just ordered the RAM, cheers for the link bilabonic.
I bought 3 Acer One's, first two were 160GB and went to family members, so I kept the 3rd thinking it would be 160GB aswell. It wasn't
:Chainsaw: Anyway, i guess it is more than enough for what it is.

How well does windows 7 work on it? As its only got 8mb gfx.
How about drivers? Did you use Acers xp drivers?
This is a Great Little Machine if you fancy playing around with a few different OS's.
Came with linux, Run's XP fine, XBMC Live USB runs ok 2gb Flash Drive needs a tweak for wifi (Investigating further), BackTrack 3 Live USB 2.5 external 10gb HDD Loads n runs fine need to understand all the programs in Backtrack n Tweak (Investigating Further) and Mac OSX 10.5.5 still to play with n Dual Boot with XP.
All my local stores no Stock Left and I'm not surprised. lol

It shares the RAM. Mine shows as 224Mb
Seems fine at the moment, installed all the drivers itself. Just gonna do a "Windows Experience" test to see how it rates.
Edit: Stock machine, no extra ram (yet) got the following 4 me...
Processor 2.2
Memory (Ram) 2.0
Graphics 2.2
Gaming Graphics 2.7
Primary hard disk (160GB) 5.5
So more ram should boost it a bit.

Finally got one after trailing round all the asda' in the manchester area.....got last one from my local store lmao
Installed windows 7, found that you need to hunt around for latest wifi driver to get it to work 100%. In the end I removed it becuase I could find any virtual cd software that worked correctly on windows 7.
Back to xp for now.

Would i be able to buy a cheap cd-rom drive to install xp as i think the usb stick method is a little beyond me:FRIGHT:

I thought about getting one as i saw this deal on another forum. But then Im thinking my Omnia does the net good enough. Still in 2 minds. Also a case of persuading my wife!

You can get a usb to ide/sata lead. They also do a power supply so that you could use an old cd drive out of a pc.
Something along these lines m8
I'm sure I've seen a complete kit on the bay for under a tenner.
