So i live in the great white north (kanada) and i just recently snagged an LG x110 for 430$ CAD (+ taxes of course)

See i don't expect a lot from netbooks at all really but i just want the damn thing to be smooth with windows 7, which frankly it isn't. It was pretty obvious that a good way to speed it up was upgrading its ram, but the problem was that ITS RAM IS SOLDERED ONTO THE DAMN BOARD!!!

this one little nick in the laptop is now making me regret buying it, and so ive been looking at other viable alternatives like this

that is almost the same specs (sans the bluetooth) and it can actually be upgraded. I don't mind the smaller screen, but im really wondering if 2GB of ram will meet my speed needs for windows7

So what do you guys think if theres some viable way of speeding up my current bitch of a netbook. Or if 2GB of ram will run windows 7 smooth. I can deal with a smaller screen and no bluetooth; im just asking will it be worth it (because i won't be able to get the lg again for 430$ unfortunately)

also, the EEE has 5 hours of battery life whilst my netbook has 2 hours

I really need an answer ASAP because i have only tomorrow to return this for the price i bought it for.
