Is it easy enough?  I'm happy enough taking normal PC's apart, but I've never opened my laptop.  An extra 512mb of RAM is only a £15 and I think I could use a gig rather than the 512 I currently have.

Easier than a pc, just slide open the cover and pop it in Wink

I suppose the same compatability issues exist with latops as Desktops ?

Obviously check your laptop has room for more ram and that the stuff you buy is compatable, but yeah it's really easy.

Sweet, ta guys.  I went to Crucial's website and they analyse your computer to see what type of ram is ok for you, I'll just grab one of the recommended ones.

Ta again Smiley

I've been planning on upgrading mine as well, where have found 512M for £15?

Then I did the system scanner and it said what I needed.

bit confused, went on the site and did the scan that silo said and it came back with

Available Memory Slots:  0
Number of Banks:  1

Does that mean i will have to take out the other bit of RAM in there or do i have a spare slot to just add another 512 in??

i'm sure if you push hard enough you can squeeze some in via the cd drive or thru the holes in the back of it.

Will the fur not cause it to overheat and break though?

Fraid so, means you don't have a spare memory slot and to upgrade you'd need to remove the current memory stick and put a new one it.

All animals have fur - some happen to have a longer more denser fur than others which may lead to it being given another name. At the end of the day though it's still fur Wink

is that a bitch to do or just a little bit harder than slotting a separate one in??

I was quite surprised by the fact my toshy only has 256 ram.
