Presario 1200 US upgrade
I was very fortunate to trade my very nice, new, expensive laptop for a Compaq Presario 1200 US* which has a very slow Celeron chip and very little memory, 128mb is soldered in and 256mb was added making a total of 320mb. Believe it or not, the thing is capable of doing what I need done, I use it mostly for checking email when travelling. It would be nice, however, if I could add a bit of memory. I figure putting a 512mb module in place of the 256mb module would give me more but everything I read says 320 is max..... Anyone know of a way to increase the memory size or does anyone know for sure what will happen if I did put a 512 module in there? So far my answers range from "Nothing, it won't even boot" to "It will explode with enough force to end all live on earth". Some how I think both answers are wrong? Any help would be appreciated, again, it does what I need, I'll probably keep it no matter what but it would be nice to speed it up a bit...... Oh, BTW, I'm running XP Home if that matters at all, and I have used a bunch of tricks to speed the software up but I'm up against hardware limits. *My kid, the con-artist, convinced me he needed an up-to-date laptop more than I did. sigh |
