Boost Your Laptop’s Performance with Extra RAM

Is your laptop starting to get a little laggy? Does it slow down to a crawl when you try to open Photoshop while browsing the web? Is playing a DVD with other programs open an exercise in frustration? It sounds like you could use a memory boost, my friend.

Memory is one of the few aspects of a laptop’s hardware that’s relatively easy to upgrade. Most laptops have a little panel on the bottom that you can either unsnap or unscrew to open up, revealing a slot for a single stick of memory. No need to waste your time or money at Best Buy hiring someone to do the install for you, this is one project you can do yourself. Just pick up a stick of this PNY 1GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 Notebook SO-DIMM RAM and pop it in there. It’s not hard, I promise. You’ll want to check your manuals to make sure that’s the right type for your computer, but in any case, get some RAM, install it in 5 minutes, and notice the difference immediately. Doubling or tripling your RAM is one of the easiest ways to get your computer more capable at handling multiple tasks at once, so quit whining about the lag and do something about it, will ya?
