Dumb Memory Question

[Hum]

My netbook has only 1 memory slot.

Would a 4 gig RAM stick possibly fit in the same space as the current 2 gig ?

Yes, I ran the Crucial site memory scan thingy:

System is at maximum memory, no memory upgrades are possible. These parts should be used as replacements once the system is outside of its warranty period.

No, I don't believe everything I read.

My netbook gets god-awful slow, so I'd like to speed it up some.

I do have a 4 gig SD card on 'Readyboost' -- not sure if that has any effect, whatsoever.

Thanks for any help.

Please -- no comments about buying a faster laptop ...

put a SSD HD on it (pref a low cost one) then you will have speed bumb you need ;p and as for Readyboost, i have a 2gig but never noticed any speed increase for any programes i run.

and More ram wont help, unless you open high resolution pic's or big file's.

Physically, yes. The question is whether the motherboard/BIOS support that configuration. Best best is to search around for someone who has tried it with your particular netbook model.

I noticed an improvement by adding more RAM to my desktop.

Less load on the CPU.

My netbook CPU just chokes up, running a browser, and playing music, videos.

I don't think the CPU could be replaced tho. :/

Do you have a model number or something for it? It depends on the motherboard, and since it's a netbook, the system itself.

Aha ... the CPU is replaceable ... it is socketed:

Replacing the CPU

1. Insert the CPU into the socket.

IMPORTANT: be sure to align the pins correctly with the marker on the CPU. Failure to do will likely result in

permanent damage to teh CPU.

NOTE: If replacing only the CPU, make sure to follow the instrucitons for cleaning and replacing thermal pads

as described in ?Replacing the Thermal Module? on page 93.

2. Using a flat blade screw driver, rotate the CPU screw 90? counterclockwise to lock the CPU into the

socket.

I went to the site you provided, it seems that it can not be upgraded anymore than 2gb RAM ... unless you can replace MB and RAM so you will be able to handle 4gb RAM.

Or you can get rid of that netbook and get a new one with better system configuration.

I vote new hard drive, SSD Hybrid Drive will be good :)

^ How is a SSD going to keep the CPU from choking ?

I did find a L310, instead of the current L110, AMD.
