Upgrading Memory in Laptop

moneysaverdan

Hi all,

I have an HP G5056EA currently with 1GB (2 x 512MB 533MHz) memory installed.

I believe I can upgrade this to anything up to 2GB and I'd like to do that and would like some advice on:

1. Can I definitely upgrade to 2GB?
2. Should I buy 2x 1GB or 1x2GB sticks?
3. Where is cheapest/ best place to buy from?
4. Can I upgrade speed also, so can I upgrade from 533MHz to a higher speed?


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Many thanks

Donnie

1. Yes
2. 2x 1GB
3.Play.com/Amazon UK/Funky Giraffe/Crucial...take a look for yourself
4. No....it may work, but there will be little or no performance benefit.

Thanks for this guys.

I guess 2GB is the highest I can go to with this machine?

I did an upgrade yesterday in my desktop machine.

Night and day of a difference. 1gb to 2gb.

Bought from Mr.Memory. Ordered 3p.m. on Thursday. Delivered Friday. They were also the best price I could find.

Hope this helps.
