Upgrade Compaq EVO Laptop Memory
If you've owned an EVO laptop since buying it new, upgrades are always worth looking at if you have the money and are looking for a little more functionality. The easiest and most effective upgrade most laptop owners can make is upgrading the RAM. If there's any exception to the "don't buy to upgrade" rule it's RAM. Some retailers fool around with selling new laptops with Vista installed and only 512MB RAM, which just isn't enough for Vista. Rather than paying the retailer $100 to upgrade the RAM, you can buy another 512MB online for much less, which will get it up to 1GB. If you have a bit more to blow, 2.0 GB of matched RAM is the best option for Vista. Windows XP will run on 256MB, but is better with 512MB or more. Unlike a desktop, laptops and other portable computers often do not allow users to upgrade many of the components it comes with. Before you start taking your laptop apart looking for a place to stick some more memory, read the manual. If your laptop didn't come with a paper manual or you can't find it, most notebooks are shipped with a PDF of the manual pre-installed of the hard drive. Don't be sure that upgrading or replacing the memory will do any good before you troubleshoot the problem. The manual should describe the maximum memory capacity of the laptop. Almost every EVO laptop allows to upgrade the memory (RAM). Often this is done by opening a compartment on the bottom of the laptop and adding or removing and adding a new stick of memory. The whole trick is making sure your laptop doesn't already have the maximum amount of RAM installed, and buying the right module. We suggest using the memory configurator. There is the online Memory RAM configuration calculators to tell you exactly which RAM your system needs. Once you get the right RAM, it's just a case of opening your computer case and snapping it in place. It's not really hard to install RAM.
