    Hey all,

    I have an Acer Aspire One ZG5 that I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate with (1.6GHz Atom, 1GB RAM) and I'm considering upgrading to 1.5GB of RAM. Does it actually give a noticeable boost in performance or am I better off saving my $30?

    More specifically, I'd like to know if it will improve the following:
    - 720p softsub mkv playback with CoreAVC. Right now, there's brief stuttering during parts where there's a lot of things happening (nothing that makes it unwatchable, but it'd be nice if the whole video played smooth). Would the extra 512MB RAM make a difference for CoreAVC?
    - Games.
    - Boot-up time.
    - Multitasking.

    You probably can improve something by adding another 0.5GB of RAM but it's netbook - do not expect miracles. Especially with video and games...
