is it possible to upgrade my laptop RAM from 256MB and up to 1Gb? I want to speed up the system.how?

upgrading the ram doesn't speed up your internet connection. with dial-up you stuck on the lousy 56kbps (and mostly it's even lower). upgrading to dsl or cable is costly but far more effective.\n\nif you want to upgrade the memory to 1GB you have to get 2x512MB DDR2 PC3200 non-ECC unbuffered RAM, due to the dual channel support (one single 1GB stick would not do it). i think it's still worth to do that, because the Pentium M735 is not that old.

no do you have a 1 gb ram

I think that you can add one more 128Mb RAM. that will improve the performance of the PC. You can increase the RAM capacity if your computer mother board has the provision.  I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems. Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in  useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.

yes you can. i did it on a P1 (133MHz) with 128MB Ram, but it's horribly slow ;-)

Look up your system model on the support section of the manufacturer's page.  There will be a lot of technical jargon in the RAM section that you will probably not understand.  Copy it down and take it to a store that sells computer accessories (Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, etc) and show it to the salesman.  If you want really good performance, tell him you want low-latency RAM instead of the budget high density crap.  Until then, increase the size of your paging file and hope for the best.  You can also disable unnecessary startup entries and background services.  Many people will tell you to use msconfig by going to Start - Run, typing "msconfig" then go to startup tab, this is not quite accurate.  To accurately disable the startup you should disable it from within the settings of the program itself.  This is to be sure that the registry entry is not recreated on the next reboot.  To disable background services that you don't need, go to Start - Run and type services.msc.  Disabling unnecessary services here will free up a lot of resources - probably more than anything else you could do to the system minus upgrade.  Also, you should optimize your caches.  If you can perform these tweaks effectively, you may not even need a RAM upgrade, but it's still recommended if you have less than 512MB RAM in XP.

Upgrading your computer's memory (RAM) is one of the quickest, most efficient and most cost-effective ways to boost performance. Many new computers come with only a bare minimum of memory installed. Adding more RAM can add more zip to your system. And installation is not that complicated. Sometimes getting the case off takes more time than installing the actual RAM itself. \n\nMemory upgrade provides:\n  Smoother multitasking\n  Faster Web surfing\n  Enhanced printing\n  More efficient video editing\n  Optimized Windows XP processing\n  Spectacular gaming\n  Enhanced multimedia presentations\n  Efficient networking

You're going to have to open it up to put the new RAM inside so why not?\n\nAnyhow your computer supports DDR PC3200 or PC2700 with a max of 1GB per stick. Your computer supports 2GB ram total.

If you bought your computer within last year, you probably can increase it to even 1 gig.\n\nJust go to http://www.newegg.com or http://www.4allmemory.com and you can get some RAMS for cheap. Just find the right DDR for your computer and you can install it yourself. Its the easiest part of your hardware that you can install. \n \nI suggest upgrading to at least 1 gig of ram if you play a lot of games and if you want to play high graphics games. 512 is minimal for most games now.\n\nIf you need help with it, just contact me.

You would have to first learn whether or not your motherboard supports the faster RAM.  http://www.crucial.com has a great tool to help you figure it out.

i wish it could,but sorry,memory(ram) is bought in what we call modules\n      modules are then put into memory banks(slots) and each computer has different types of memory and amounts that can be installed\n       memory comes in 4 main types,the 1st being sd-ram ,this is the 1st generation memory and is found in older machines such as pentium 2,s and pentium 3,s,sd-ram comes in sizes from 64mb and then in sizes 128mb,256mb,512mb\n       the second type of memory is ddr(double data rate)ram,or more commonly known as ddr-sdram and this comes in different speed types such as pc2100,pc2700,pc3200 and comes in sizes 128mb,256mb,512mb,1gb\n       the next type is ddr2,this is similar to ddr but operates at higher speeds speeds start at 400mhz(ddr2pc4000)these modules now have speeds of up to 1ghz,and come in sizes 128mb,256mb,512mb,1gb,2gb\n       the final type is laptop memory which is known as so-dimm,and this comes in sizes 64mb,128mb,256mb,512mb,1gb\n       you can go to http://www.crucial.com/,and there you can run a scan of your system,this will give you a full report of your system memory and this can be printed out for you to take to your local computer shop,this way at least you know you will be getting the right type of memory\n        any problems let me know\n                    good luck

OOH, No stickers?!!?  There I dunno how you will.  Best way is to ask a computer dealer to try the RAM for you and give you the specs.\n\nOr better, try it at a friend's who's willing to help u out.

If your motherboard can handle the ram. Some motherboards have a limit and sometimes the only way is to change the mb.

It'll take a lotta time to describe the whole process, so i've listed a couple of links here. Visit those links n read 'em.\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,18024,00.asp\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_895_install-ram.html\nhttp://www.pcmech.com/show/memory/87/

well your ram i think is the quickest u can get and 160 gig hard drive is pretty big, so would say that not much outa date, for me i reckon if the computer does what you want it to do then it cant be out of date

.\nAt the site Crucial.com \nthey have a cool tool that will tell you \nexactly the kind of RAM you need for your system and how much you can add.\nIt's free...\nthey hope you will buy your ram from them...and I do recommend their product.\n\nk.

***Many lame answers*** 2 * 512 MB and I GB are same performance wise. However the 2 * 512 takes up two slots and may make it costlier if you plan to upgrade your laptop to 2 GB. In the first case you may have to throw both the existing memory cards and add two new 1 GB. In the other configuration you can by oly one new 1 GB card and upgrade to 2 GB. Or even you can  buy one 512 to upgrade to 1.5 GB. If I were you I will go with 1 * 1GB.

easy...\n\ngo to kingston.com and use their ram wizard...  No guess work.\n\nAnoosh's suggestion just uses the system info in the registry.  It can be inaccurate.
