Hello all,
First let me say I have close to 0 computer savy. I have a 5 year old (I think)Compaq Presario model SR1265CL. With all of the different stuff that's been added over the years it's getting slower and slower. The other day my Norton anti virus subscription expired and I was advised to install the free AVG. Install went fine but the P/C is now abit slower yet.
According to my P/C specs, I have 512 MB. I have never added any addtional RAM to this unit. Installing an addtional card looks simple and my model has two slots for memory. My question is since I have 512 MB already installed from the factory, how much should I add? Looking around on the internet some people say "always add the same as you have". Would another 512MB be the right way to go, or would buying a 1GB card be the way?
Thanks a lot!
