I was curious if I could get more memory for my laptop I have a
Compaq Presario V5000Z.
-Microsoft Windows Home Edition.
-AMD Sempron(TM) 3300+(2.0GHz/128KB L2)
-128MB ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M
-256MB DDR SDRAM
-60GB 4200 RPM HArd Drive
-DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
-Bright View Wide Screen 15.4"

Yes, you've got an extra slot for it. I wouldnt just install another 256 (to make 512mb). I'd shell out for a bit more since the price of memory is pretty low nowadays. You'll see more of a difference with a bigger stick than you would with a 256 chip- you may won't even see a difference with that.

HAH! What a coincidence! I have the same exact laptop, accept it came with 512MB total. Because of the graphics card it's less, so I'm thinking of getting another 512MB or 1GB.

Haha weird Yeha I think Ill call Compag tomorrow and get 512mb. I know how to insert memory into desktop computers is it much harder for laptops?

No, not really. It's pretty simple. Just unscrew a panel and
Pop it in. You can also buy notebook memory just about anywhere. It may save you a bit of money too.
