Can you check if that .01GB RAM is allocated for the video or going somewhere else, possibly not! There are not a lot of reasons for you to upgrade to Windows 7 from XP, so don't bother too much about the upgrade part. My laptop has more than 2GB of RAM and I am not going to upgrade to Windows 7 anytime sooner, I am actually looking at <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu</a> for a possible switchover in near future.

I have one that I bought just two months ago. It came with what I THOUGHT was 1 gig ram, but actually shows up as .99 gigs on the system information, and Windows XP. I contacted both Microsoft and the manufacturer and was told that there was no way for me to get Windows 7 Starter for it -- it's not offered as a stand-alone but only shipped out with new netbooks. Additionally, I don't qualify for a free upgrade and might not be able to upgrade to Windows 7 Home without elaborate steps and possibly a memory upgrade. Funnily enough, nobody seems to be covering this, even though in my opinion this means that all of the netbooks sold in the last few months (and stores are continuing to offer netbooks with XP EVEN NOW) are scams.
