Upgrading memory on Laptop - Toshiba P100-160

[deviltronics]

Could any computer experts on here tell me how much I can upgrade the memory on my Toshiba P100-160.

Currently has 1GB and gets rather slow when the alot of apps are running.

I'm thinking of 4GB, but will it still work?

DT, one of the laptops I have is a Tosh and had 3GB put in, works fine and dandy. 4 GB was soo much more expensive

go to crucial and they can scan your laptop and tell you what you can go upto and how it will cost

Or tell you best person to ask is Andy (on here)

DT it has 2 slots so can take 2 x 2gb chips, inc vat they are around £30 each plus delivery.

have you looked at how much virtual memory you have because 1gb should be fine for most stuff

Thanks Andy,

Virtual Memory sits at 2.22 GB

The laptop just gets slow when I open alot of apps up, especially heavy programmes like photoshop.

Should I see a huge improvement with 2 x 2GB's?

If so you know what type I should go for, Kingston?

Ram helps speed up applications, do you know what sort of resources you are using at the moment (check task manager)

Microsofts answer to everything a while back was add more ram. It certainly helps but if you have a slow processor then you'll not notice too much difference. there is always something that will be a bottleneck.

for the cost its certainly something I would do, make sure you go for the 4 gb though, it always works better in pairs.

Kingston, Crucial, we buy and sell them both with very few returns (sometimes Ram fails straight from the box because it is fragile.) ensure you are static free when holding and fitting it.
