| 683884 | 2008-07-01 09:17:00 | right now there's 1 gig of ram in each of the 2 slots, if I was to buy 2 2gig sticks of ram I would then have to sell the 2 1 gig sticks of ram, so from the comments that you guys have made, I'll probably jus upgrade to 3gb, all I want really is for the startup to be faster, It takes FOREVER and the startup time's really important at school cause then you miss out on typing all the notes into MS WORD when then the teacher types up the notes on her laptop which is connected to the projector. I saw on a website that anything over 2gb of ram you only get a 5-10% increase in speed. Is this true or did the site have unreliable information. Also, I have found 2 listings on trade-me with quite different prices: www.trademe.co.nz www.trademe.co.nz Any opinions? |

| 683885 | 2008-07-01 10:02:00 | I would be looking at why the laptop is slow on startup rather than trying to add more ram. Is it also slow after 5 mins from power on? Checking one of my suppliers there is no 2gb module available for the M500, 1Gb and 512 yes. There is for the M400 but I can't say they are the same. I'm sure there is a 2Gb available as I only had a very quick look. |

| 683886 | 2008-07-01 19:32:00 | I would post a hijack this log so we can see whats happening at startup to slow you down more RAM won't fix startup I don't think | gary67 (56) | ||
| 683887 | 2008-07-01 20:56:00 | But having 2+2 is better than 1 + 2 if your motherboard supports dual channel, isn't it? I guess not everyone will notice a difference, but anyone that works with apps that tend to use lots of memory (games, multimedia work etc.) should see it. In a laptop, you won't notice the difference. High performance desktop yes, laptop, no. |
