Re: Which Netbook / value laptop...


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
ok then the questions are then do i go for the faster memory or the slower memory?
I'm thinking slower memory is less likely to fail on me..to give me less problems overall.

Also how do i find out what memory is currently being used in my netbook all windows lets me is its 1gb in size.

Use the Crucial site for the new memory

http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model...

£18 for 2GB and has a lifetime guarantee.

If you access the site using your Netbook you can use the ScanMySystem and that will tell you more.

On my Samsung N150 there is a cover on the base with a screw holding it. I took that off, unclipped the 1GB module and replaced it with the 2GB. About 1 minute smile

Add delivery to that and it comes out at £22.50 for 2 day service

Crucial charge £3 so it comes out cheaper at £21

If it has a seal over the screw then yes it may - but if not you can always reverse it if there is a problem.

But have a read of teh manual too ...

Dell allow certain upgrades to laptop and desk/tower machines without voiding their warranty hopefully Asus take the same positive attitude.

I wouldn't have thought this would invalidate the warranty, but while looking around for the answer I noticed someone said they had to upgrade the bios to accommodate the extra gig, so watch out for that.
