  • I've just upgraded my RAM, Motherboard, Processor and Graphics Card (with a fair bit of help from people on here) and it's not as scary as you think it'll be!

    The main problems I encountered were not making note of what cables connected to what when I took things out, and some things were a little bit fiddly with my fat fingers, but it was all pretty easy. I just worked to the rule that if it didnt feel like it was going to fit, don't force it! ;)

    You'll be fine, just give it a go and ask any questions on here, people are really helpful :beer:

    want to do mine???:rotfl::rotfl:

    the computer came with 256 and i had another 512 added a while back..

    Then now is the time to ditch the 256MB for another gig. Easy fix, along with the graphics card.
    A 5 year old PC should have a few years in it yet for the relatively undemanding tasks you're asking of it.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
