Boosting Up My Laptop With 1gb of Memory

1gb memory

I have truly become so frustrated with my laptop. It has turned so weak after 4 years. RICHard is not RICH yet so I can't change a new laptop/PC. The only way is to install a memory to it. And, so I bought a 1gb memory, RM 49.

Opening the casing

It used to be 512mb of memory. However, I find this truly not enough for today. Memory usage of my laptop is high. I have try so best by using low usage memory software(s) but they actually don't help real much.

I was so excited after I bought the 1gb ram and thinking of that I could have 1.5gb of memory after the installation of the new memory stick.

BUT
thing didn't turn out to be 1.5gb of memory!!!

2 x 256mb of ram

I only realized it has 2 x 256mb of ram installed after I open up the casing. This is so stupid. Meaning that I have to take one 256mb out and install the 1gb in. And I could only have about 1.2gb of memory`

doh` =.= and, what can I do with the extra piece of 256mb now?! Whatsoever... I do find my laptop is powered up. So be glad` =)

That's my question too, why not 2 GB. But before you get one, you should check the maximum capacity it can supports. 2GB should not be a problem for most laptop.
