| 671037 | 2008-05-20 07:09:00 | I have an Asus A6R Z92Rseries laptop and want to upgrade my RAM. I bought it about a year ago and its meant to have 512mb but only has 384mb, so I want to put a 1GB (or more) in it but don't know what brands are compatible and prices. Can anyone tell me what RAM type I can have and/or tell me what I'll be paying if I took to a computer place. | Craig Mellor (13762) | ||

| 671040 | 2008-05-20 07:24:00 | Heres the specs for your GPU, www.amd.com its an 'Integrated ATI Radeon™ X300 graphics core with clock speed of 300/400MHz (for ATI Radeon Xpress 1100/1150)' Basically, if the x300 is integrated, so is a x200. Its just like that a Geforce 6100 LE is integrated. |

| 671041 | 2008-05-20 07:28:00 | Have a look Here (http://www.laptopbatteries.co.nz/) should answer your questions, and yes of course laptop RAM can be upgraded. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 671042 | 2008-05-20 11:53:00 | What is your warranty period? You may have to have it upgraded by an approved tech/shop in order not to invalidate the the warranty . If you're not not familiar with the innards of laptops, it may be best to leave to a tech who is anyway . BTW, what OS are you running and what is the main use/software? |

| 671043 | 2008-05-21 01:46:00 | I has a global warrranty for 2 years but thats probably expired by now. WINXP home is my OS and I mainly use it for music, videos, games and internet. | Craig Mellor (13762) | ||
| 671044 | 2008-05-21 02:51:00 | Ok then. More RAM should give you the best upgrade bang for buck. I take it you mean watching videos rather than encoding, if so 1 to 2GB will do you fine. Your machine will never be much of a gamer with that video card, though not many laptops are good at gaming anyway. It's probably not worth upgrading the card either. |

| 671045 | 2008-05-22 00:26:00 | haha, should have checked ASUS website first: Main Memory DDR2 533MHz SDRAM, 2x SO-DIMM socket expandable to 1GB So, get a program like CPU-Z to tell you what you've already got in there, then you can upgrade Sounds like you can have max 512MB x 2 = 1GB |
