The laptop comes with 512mb of ram, how did you pump it to 3gb unit with 2 sticks of $29.99 ram? |

I love how everyone is so quick to slam on here when someone is just trying to help out. Op tried to help by posting a good deal, people slammed it. I luv'd the deal, works great for me. This laptop comes w/ 1gb. I'm certainly not tech savvy, but when I went to BB today, the lady helping me suggested because vista runs on 1gb, that upgradin would be a good idea. So, since hubby does tech support, called him, and he said grab it. So, that's what I did and she said that we could upgrad and put 2 sticks in. Just trying to share the info that I have, isn't that what this forum is for? Didn't realize it meant taking out the 2 512's to put in the two 1gb's to make it a 2gb system, but that's what we did. Geez, my mistake. No need to slam on people for trying to help |

I am looking for a laptop, I am not sure I'd get this because I want to run some processor heavy application. But this is a decent deal for someone who don't do anything much other than wordprocessing or just surf the web. |

i think its a stick of 1gb +2gb. even weirder i think i remember seeing an eBay laptop with 2128mb Actually, the standard arrangement is to put in 2X1GB sticks and 2X512MB sticks to make 3GB.
Generally you want to use matched pairs or suffer performance/compatibility problems. |

yeah but usually these laptops only have space fr 2 sticks of ram. so how can it be 2x1gb and 2x512gb? 3gb seems really really stupid like 768 mb of ram used to be back in day! |

It's 2gb and 1gb. With 32 bit OS not being able to see more than about 3.5 gig, and with bloated pig like Vista needing all the memory one can throw at it, 3gb makes perfect sense. You get about as much memory as you can get without wasting any, and all you lose is dual-channel, benefits of which are negligible in any real usage. |

They also have a Gateway on sale for $499 on this weeks ad. Pentium dual core, 2 GB of RAM. I think for a $100 its a much better system. |

I noticed it doesn't have a built in memory card reader so the only sneakernet type data transfer would have to be by USB thumb drive, or buying an external card reader. It does have the Express card slot. Personally, I'm not sure how widespread those are yet since they only came out about a year ago. |
