Netbook memory upgrade

Just upgraded the 1000HE from ASUS from 1GB to 2GB. No obvious difference in Win7 performance. Apps seem to run faster now. I just had to install Office 2007. Runs very well with the built-in 1GB but feels snappier with 2GB. TaskMgr still shows only 700MB used.

Am I old fashioned? A netbook is a netbook and not a notebook. You are supposed to be online and work online and not in WinWord or Excel on a netbook. Or? Oh well, I want both.
