An example - one of my workshop PC's not high spec. P4 2.53 CPU, 1 Gb RAM, only security is Nod32, Spyware Doctor and ZA - takes 1 min 40 sec to be fully running. Got a customers Compaq here almost 4 minutes - fresh install from recovery. 2 Gb RAM E6550 CPU.

620247 2007-12-12 05:52:00 Thanks guys, I have only 1 gig memeory on my ASYS S6 notebook. The only option is to chuck the whole gig in the bin and buy a 1.5 gig memory module as this seems to be the largest one available for this very recent notebook.


Don't buy a 1.5 gb module unless you are sure your machine has a 1GB module in it

I think and you will have to check this, that the S6 has 2 sticks of ram, one 512 directly on the motherboard and one 512 under an access cover that you can swap out, so if you are looking to get more ram, check what the one under the access panel is, I could very well be wrong, but checking could save you the cost of a stick of ram
