Notebook memory

Hi group
I have a cheapish laptop (Medion Microstar) with only 128Mb sdram and its
slow despite its 2.4G processor. I'd like to upgrade the memory to see if
it speeds up but am phased by taking the back off the machine and not being
able to replace it. Anyone here have any experience of adding memory to a
laptop ???

That's awful, Ena! Awful.

Ladies! Please!

Usually there is a simple Flap/Access point to memory only in the base of
the laptop

It's slow because it'd ram challenged.

It's not that difficult to do once you find the correct ram. If you're
lucky, there will be an empty slot to snap the the stick in place. If
you're really lucky, you'll have a one screw door to open up to get to
the ram.

It's easily done. Go to the Crucial website and let it scan your memory-- it
will tell you what kind is in there. Make sure you add exactly the same kind
and speed.

Main issue is how many memory slots you have. Identify which is the memory
compartment-- there's likely a small panel held down with a screw on the
bottom of your computer-- and look in there. You'll probably have just two
slots- each with a 64 meg module installed giving you your 128 total.

Cheapest fix is to remove one and replace it with a bigger module-- probably
adding one 256 or 512 module-- giving you that plus the 64 meg that you
leave in there. If you're really feeling flush, replace both old 64 meg
modules.
