Upgrading RAM, need help!

[djake]

Right now I have a Dell Inspiron 1600, with 512mb Ram, and was told I would get alot more performance if I upgraded to 1GB. Is this true? If I did, what are some good ones to get, and about how much do they cost? Any other upgrades to laptops that you'd reccomend?

Thanks,

DJ

There's not a lot of upgrades you can easily do to a laptop. RAM, harddrive and sometimes video are about all you have ready access to.

Pretty much any laptop RAM will work fine but the performance gain will depend on what you use the laptop for.

Far as I know Dell has proprietary hardware that can't be upgraded with parts off the shelf. Could be wrong about this, but then I've never owned a laptop. But more memory will almost always make a noticeable difference, especially when you're starting with only 512mb
