I own the Asus 1005-PE MU 27 netbook - see link below.
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003JZC5K6/ref=oss_product)

It came with 1GB of RAM that was upgradable to 2GB. Given the somewhat so-so performance at times of the netbook, I opted to upgrade to 2GB. I did some homework and found that users who bought this particular brand of memory did not have any issues (apparently some had problems with the memory from other brands).

Sure enough, I installed the chip and it worked perfectly fine. No problems whatsoever with booting the computer and shutdowns (which was reported by others in the past with other chips).

For full disclosure, I am somewhat of a hardware idiot, meaning I am certainly not one who is good at opening up a computer and messing around with internal components.

But this one was easy. Unscrewed one screw, opened the panel, took out the old chip, carefully put the new one in. Turned on the netbook, pressed F2 to get into the BIOS to confirm the memory is recognized by the computer = voila. All done. Took 5 min.

I purchased the Kingston 2GB 800MHZ DDR2 sodimm memory as an upgrade for my Samsung NC10. It was simple and easy to install. It has been working perfectly. This is a great upgrade for the Samsung NC10 and I'm sure it would be for other netbooks (but I have not checked the specifications on other brands and models).

Installed in my Asus EeePC 1005PE and it definitely put some snap into the system. This is the single best thing you can do to speed up your Intel Atom n450 Netbook. Optimizing software & system processes, using ReadyBoost on a SD-memory card all help but not as much. Only other recommendation is to try the Opera Web-browser (especially for Twitter).
