I think what your really need now to boost the speed dramatically would be some extra RAM

Pop along to Crucial and run the system scanner- this will let you know how much extra RAM your system can take, what type and a rough cost

The memory type for that mother board is SODIMM DDR333

I did find some here but it is a bit antiquated and appears to be a laptop motherboard

[greghoffman]

i was going to ask about adding some memory...guess that is the next step. never took a laptop apart before...only towers...is it a task that i'll be able to do easily? i spent 30 years fixing cars, i pride myself on fixing things right the first time. lol

It is very easy - crucial has a video on it

[greghoffman]

wow...easier than auto repairs...i'll play with it today and let you know the results. thank you so much!!!!

[Essexboy]

My pleasure

[greghoffman]

its not under there...someone one a chat board said the ram on their equus laptop was under the keypad...any vids available for this procedure?

[greghoffman]

i'll have to do some experimenting and net searching..i'll report back!!!

[Essexboy]

I am currently trying to find a manual for it - not an easy task so far

[greghoffman]

it was under the large cover that houses the fan

[Essexboy]

Glad you found it as I still can not find a manual for it

[greghoffman]

installed the ram..has helped..also ran cccleaner,puran defrag ,disc clean and emptied java temp files...seems about as good as a 6 year old machine with small processor can be. i thank you for everything you've done for me. i am speechless!!!!!
tomorrow i'll finish up with my work computer and report back...thank you again.
