    Hi,

    I have two questions regarding ACer Aspire one ZG5.

    1. Is Aspire one ZG5 really from acer or some chinese FAKE of acer
    (I dont see any more references in acer website regarding ZG5)

    2. Can I upgrade my RAM to 1.5 or 2.0 GB from 1.0 GB(default)
    I am deparate to upgrade RAM due to slow Graphics processor Performance.

    thanks

    ZG5 was originally distributed with Linux as the OS, later also XP. Real ones
    are built in China, but maybe fake ones are too. Acer's distribution system
    is opportunistic at best and cynically exploitative of users and loopholes in
    local consumer law at worst. Systems labelled ZG5 on the machine are often
    labelled AOA150 on the box. Does it have all the Acer ZG5 problems quoted
    in these fora? Then it's probably real. Does it have none of them and good,
    responsive customer-orientated support? Then it might be fake.

    RAM is upgradable to 1.5 - check out the hardware forum.
