Laptop Memory
I have the model 450 sx4 and have 256mb or RAM.......I wanted to upgrade to
make things run better. What is the maximum size chip that I can install on the laptop? Memory intensive programs really slow my computer down. Will just another 256mb of ram be sufficient? Thanks, Russ |

Check the specs for your notebook on the Gateway web site. As a rule with most
but not all notebook computers, if your system is currently outfitted with a single 256MB SODIMM and you see another empty SODIMM socket, you can upgrade to 512MB...

It seems to handle Autocad with no problems even doing 3D Rotations which is number crunching to the max. I would think that there would be more problems associated with slow laptop HD RPM limits than problems with not being able to stuff enough mem in these laptops. I think 512 will handle just about everything you can throw at a laptop. Regards, TR |

Max is 2X256 MByte PC2100 soDIMMs.
Assuming you're running XP, 512 MBytes will help significantly. wrote in message ... I have the model 450 sx4 and have 256mb or RAM.......I wanted to upgrade to make things run better.
