Want suggestions for a spare stick of new Kingston ram for Acer netbooks: KAC-MEMHS/2G

You can get a list of compatible systems from the Kingston configurator at their website:>

Here's the backstory:

I bought an Acer Aspire One D257 and decided to upgrade. So I ordered a 2gb stick from OnSale. OnSale FedEx'd it to me, but FedEx tracking never updated after the original departure scan. After a week, I contacted OnSale to say I thought FedEx lost the shipment. OnSale said they'd file a claim with FedEx and offered to refund my money or reship. I said to reship, OnSale confirmed, and I got the reshipped stick a few days later. About a week after my conversation with OnSale, FedEx dropped the original shipment on my porch. Tracking indicates FedEx found the shipment on the other side of the country some hours after OnSale promised reshipment. I contacted OnSale for return instructions and they said -- meh! just keep it! -- so I've got a brandnew unopened package of KAC-MEMHS/2G

It's no use to me: it doesn't fit anything I've got. There was a local 501(c)(3) in the RDU area that refurbished equipment for kids, but they're going out of business and don't accept donations anymore

Suggestions?

1. Get you one of these and build an HTPC.

There's several socket AM3 45W cpus available-from 2.6GHz single core to 2.5 GHz quad-core.. Depending on how much you want to spend.

Actually that RAM will work on any computer that uses DDR3 1066 SO-DIMM.

2. That's not a bad idea but I just can't justify doing it, even for fun: I've built myself

something like seven boxes in the last year -- some for legitimate purposes, others to answer curiosity questions like "What's the fastest thing I can build at a reasonable price?" or "What's the cheapest thing I can build that actually works?" or "How well can I do without going a penny over $400?"
