pimp my asus eee 1000he!

im thinking of getting an asus netbook, more notably the 1000he.
clicky
are there any hardware mods i should do to it? im ordering ram when i get it, 2 gigs at 800 mhz.
im thinking of installing some form of linux, perhaps easy peasy ubuntu.

If im not mistaken... the fastest that ram will run is 533Mhz, so 800mhz would just be downclocked to 533mhz, better not to waste money for faster memory when it wont run any faster. Ubuntu is a good choice for netbooks too

the ram im getting is cheaper than ram at 533 mhz lol. its only 16 dollars or so. ram

Ah, you could actually prolly get a better price on ram that has free shipping such as:
