[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1308195, member: 8287"] I agree with everything RustProofCom said. I put Windows 7 on mine so did not have the bloat. Mine came with XP as new. Brian, for just basic stuff, my Netbook runs decently with 1.5GB. My Acer is the older one that will not expand to 2GB. It's fine for basic stuff as long as I don't run too many things at once. Trust me, it does not fly but does not take minutes to do anything either. Just a bit slower than a real laptop, but useable for sure. After reading Rusts post, I bet that is part of the issue. BLOATware and all launching at start. I never leave a new Notebook stock like that. Everything goes and I start over. :D I do also agree with Brad, more RAM would not hurt for sure and Windows Starter is pretty RANK! :D [/QUOTE]
