683864 2008-06-30 06:04:00 Hi I have a Toshiba M500e laptop and would like to upgrade its current 2gb of ram to 4gb. What ram is compatible with it and where could I get this cheapest?
Possible to get 2 2gb ram sticks or 1 4gb sticks for under $100?
Or is anybody selling used ram?

683866 2008-06-30 06:45:00 www.ascent.co.nz tend to recommend Kingstong ValueRAM, and have a search engine on it so it can tell you what kind of RAM you'll need- I purchased 2GB DRAM and the difference between ASUS and Kingston was about $15 between them... all up. Sick Puppy (6959)

683868 2008-06-30 07:22:00 Is the laptop running 32bit or 64bit OS?

Otherwise there's not much point getting more then 3GB of RAM.

683869 2008-06-30 10:22:00 OS is 32bit Vista Business supports up 4gb Blam (54)
683870 2008-06-30 10:48:00 Vista may support up to 4 GB, it doesnt mean the laptop will.

How many slots are in it?

Does it say it supports 4 GB?

683871 2008-06-30 10:49:00 i know speedy, IT skool techs said lappie supports up to 4gb Blam (54)
683872 2008-06-30 10:50:00 Theyre not always right :D Speedy Gonzales (78)
683873 2008-06-30 10:56:00 Just incase, how can I check how much ram my computer can take?
And btw, skool techies say mcafee is better than Avast!
I totally disagree, so they probably can be just a little bit unreliable....

btw speedy how do I know what type of ram I buy ?
There's like
PC4200
PC2100

and other ones.
how do I know which one to get?
