| 704297 | 2008-09-10 23:24:00 | Have friend's Toshiba laptop with Vista Home, 512Mb RAM and dial-up. (Sigh). Installed AVG and went online for updates successfully until a 16 file 10Mb one, which said "update failed, not enough memory". Well! Is there a work around for this, apart from getting more memory? | locobill (11977) | ||
| 704298 | 2008-09-10 23:26:00 | :eek: :eek: :waughh: GET MORE RAM!!!!! :) Vista can't run acceptably on 512MB. It's cheap. At the very least, add 1GB, adding 2GB would be better. You'd expect to pay around $50 -$65 for 1GB, or $70 - $95 for 2GB. Also Avast Home is much better than AVG Free for a free AV solution |

Ahh, of course it has laptop memory, it's a laptop. :confused: The prices I mentioned were for DDR-II Laptop RAM, which the new Toshiba will have... :rolleyes: If you were to shop around you could find DDR-II Notebook RAM for much cheaper too. |

I've got one to upgrade for a mate . . . . . mmmm a dozen beers coming my way!! :thumbs: Deal!!! :D Yep, very easy . On the new Toshes, there's one small philips screw you remove on the back, clearly labeled with the universal laptop RAM symbol, and whack whatever size you want in! :thumbs: |
