Ringing up at an aggressive $329.99, the 2.2-pound D255 looks almost identical to the D260 The single-core version will go for $269.99, but we do have to say that shelling out that additional $50 for that extra core does buy you slightly faster performance.

if I wanted to upgrade RAM for the acer aspire one aod255 what would you recommend? I don’t know much about memory specs , I would appreciate as much info as possible. thank you.
how do i change my background
Its not dual core, i bought a acer aspire one d255, it had two threads on the CPU instead of two cores, for those of you who don’t know what a thread is, its meant to mimic a second cpu.
I will be traveling to Europe for 2 months. What do I require to charge my Acer D255E computer?
Remove Windows 7 Starter, install Ubuntu. Right-click on the image you want as your background and and choose “set as background”. It is not possible to set your background in Windows 7 Starter, because Microsoft crippled it.
