Yeah, he got this one wrong, but Brad does a pretty god job overall with this blog (you ARE reading it after all, aren't you?). Might be nice to avoid Fudzilla in the future, though. It isn't really even a reliable source for rumors, much less analysis. There's no need to be a jerk.

The limit should be in the technology and not in what one company says you can or can not do. Personally, there should be a restriction on how much ram one can or could add to ones computer.

Intel imposes no RAM limit on netbooks. Microsoft imposed a 1gb ram limit ON WINDOWS XP NETBOOKS ONLY. If there was a 1gb limit on Intel Atom based netbooks, how do you explain the new Asus 1008HA Premium. 10.1" screen, Intel Atom N280, 2gb RAM, 320gb Harddrive? DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU POST.

I read some talk of Microsoft keeping the 1GB cap for Windows 7 Starter Edition, but I haven't found any solid information either way.

It'll allow you to upgrade up to a 320gb Drive with 4gb of ram. Go to HP's website and choose the HP mini 311 with windows 7. It'll allow you to upgrade up to a 320gb Drive with 4gb of ram.

All versions of 7 want at least 2 GB of RAM. Sure it will run with less, but not as well. Makes sense. All versions of 7 want at least 2 GB of RAM. Sure it will run with less, but not as well.
