I hear about compatibility issue with corsair memory,hope yours it not a corsair.And what is the model of your asus eee pc.

Does the BIOS or on boot notice the extra ram ?.. If so maybe there's some thing in the boot.ini as the only other thing i can think of is a modifide bios.

When I added a 2GB stick to my EeePC, on first boot windows didn't notice the increase of ram, so I went into the BIOS and just saved and exited and then it recognised the 2GB in windows. I had emailed ASUS about that and their response was that you need to enter the BIOS and let it recognise the ram that way.

You can try that, however it says the 900 series kernel should already recognize 2GB by default.


Edit: I see entering the BIOS fixed it.
