Check on http://Crucial.com to see what kind of upgrades are compatible with your system, then price shop or it on Newegg, Amazon, Ebay, etc.
Memory is pretty cheap, and also the best way to give a computer a speed boost. |
Hey eschwartz, I think perfectionism is taking over. My LO works fine after maybe five minutes. It does jump around in the screen now and then (quite an interesting feature) but that's another story.
I did go to Crucial for one of my desktops. I got rid of a 1.2MB stick and replaced it with a 1GB to bring the total RAM to 2GB. Works great. Didn't even get it for the other identical desktop and that one works really just as well. (I've done some heavy stuff on the 2GB machine and it's never let me down. I love Linux! (My XP was always crashing.))
I thought crucial.com was great. Ran their compatibility scan. Chatted online with a service rep and bought the stick for $26. Would recommend Crucial to anybody. (And got a (one of those 'as long as you bought...') flash drive (8GB) for $5.)
