The eeePC 701 that is on sale now has 4GB flash storage and 512MB RAM (but user upgradeable to 1 or 2 GB, but the Linux OS on it only recognizes 1GB, but if
A number of distros install default kernels which can only see 1 GB (and report 880 MB or so) - just to be sure that Linux can initially run on as much HW as possible. Swapping the kernel for a BIGMEM one will very probably fix this..... but one might need to compile one's own kernel? I wouldn't know what distro is on the eeePC.
you put XP on it, it will see 2GB)....
If XP can see it, surely a proper Linux kernel can, too. Philip
