AK350Z Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yes! Get some more RAM while you're at it too, XP likes that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 thx for the quick reply, thought it would be ok,worth doubling checking tho yeah XP flies on 2GB,will see how much the ram is the notebook is me sisters, her kids use it to mess about on, should be for school work cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yup that HDD will be fine. As AK says get some more RAM. I'd say dropping a 1GB stick into it would be worth while. Shouldnt cost too much either. I'd say at least 512MB as its only £25. http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listpar ... 0%20Series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 thx for the replies will look into the ram prices, there is a spare ram slot under the notebook, so a extra 512MB should boost it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I think RAM is dirt cheap right now, and what about those 1TB hard drives! I'll have two please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
