I bought my laptop, a compaq nx7010 , in late 2004. Been debating for a while whether to buy a new one or just upgrade it. Settled on the latter. The link will show you some of the specs of the laptop.
What I want to upgrade is my 55gig hard drive and my 256mb RAM. Max amount of RAM is 2 gig. Should i go for that, or would 1 gig be enough? Are there any compability issues when it comes to upgrading ram and HD I need to know? What will the effect of not upgrading the rest of the machine be. A ferrari motor in an old ford? Other thoughts or input on this? |

Go to www.crucial.com. It will scan your computer and tell you exactly what type of RAM you need. Their prices are usually pretty competitive, too. You will see a huge difference going from 256mb to 2gb.
You'll probably spend $300-400 after getting 2gb RAM and a new HD so you may want to consider just getting a new system. |

I think 1GB would be enough. should be able to do that for 50-80 bucks.
