Leigh you working yet? if so honestly get yourself a mac, i treated myself to one with a tax rebate i got and wouldnt look at another windows computer again.

There a lot of money outright but you can finance a apple product, ive just had a look and its like 16-17% APR over 2 years, works out to about £50'ish quid...

yer mate been back at work for a while now, what makes mac so much better?

funds are limited right now tbh got to pay work back 1200 quid and have to find 1500 before February for my solicitors as well, so no new computers will be bought just yet

its payday so ive bought x2 1gb ram sticks, im looking at a 160gb ide hardrive on ebay right now



also bought a 1.8ghz cpu to replace the 1.4ghz on in the computer right now, wasnt going to bother but won it for 90p, turns out its the wrong one anyways so will have to sell it on

2 x 1gb ram for what? That laptop or a desktop?

[turbojolt]

for the laptop its the max it can take, 2 1gb ram sticks

[turbojolt]

just put the 2gb of ram on this and i cant tell the diffrence, 20 quid well spent

[Prey]

honestly mate you're completely wasting your time - listen to what people are telling you - NO POINT WHATSOEVER even trying to upgrade something like that, it will still be absolutely shocking compared to even the cheapest (250 quid) new laptop.

Unfortunately true...did you ever reinstall windose? imo, a clean install will be more noticeable performance wise than just shoveling more ram in!

Buy a Apple Mac product and enjoy IMO worth the money and less agro of virus shÃ*t.

^ this is what I suggested
