Yeah, the whole "upgrade your RAM and you'll void the warranty" is a bit crap. Asus would probably reply by claiming the Eee is designed for folk who aren't interested or don't know how to upgrade RAM or install alternative Linux distributions (and if you want more RAM you'll soon be able to buy their more expensive model which comes with a gig of RAM!). But I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of purchasers so far have indeed been the likes of us guys here; competent professionals or hobbyists who will replace RAM and install their OS of choice!

The cheaper Eee variants have the RAM soldered onto the board, maybe Asus would like to do that with all models?
