This should tell you how mean RAM chips are in your laptop www.cpuid.com |

| 307416 | 2004-12-25 13:02:00 | OK what Presario? but i'm around 90% sure that on the bottom of the laptop theres a lid kinda thing with *most likey* 2 scews holding it down thats whrere the ram is. When u got ur laptop there should have been a manual that came with it, how to get to where the ram is should be in there. That link works, Try turning off flashget or any thing like that if your using download mangers. |

Under the general tab it will tell you how much RAM is present. It should now show 512 MB (or 524288 KB). If your machine is still slow, you need to look at what is loading in the background and check it thoroughly for nasties such as viruses and spyware. Post back if you need help with this. |

If it isnt showing 512 the ram either it isn't installed, or hasnt been found by windows. I would think a increase from 128 to 512, would have shown some increase speed. You may like to look at cleaning out folders, as this can bog down your computer too. Wash and go does to pretty good job of this, and also regscrubzp will clean your registry. keep in mind there is a slight risk of error, when fiddling with folders and the registry, so back up before you try these. good luck, robby |
