Expanding Memory

saddlerscott

I have just bought a laptop with the following specs;

Graphics : 1 GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
English Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64 BIT)
4096MB (2x2048) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel
Hard Drive : 500GB Serial ATA (7200RPM)
0
English Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64 BIT)
Wireless : European Intel Wireless LAN 6200 2x2 (802.11a/b/g/n) Card
Optical Drive : 8X DVD+/-RW Drive including Roxio Burn software
6 cell 56W HR LI-ION Battery
Intel i7-720QM(1.6GHz)
Display : 15.6in High Definition (1366X768) WLED
Wireless Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth
Camera : Integrated 2.0 Mega Pixel Camera - N-Series only


I was wondering if people think I should expand the Ram to 6 or 8 gig, and how much this would cost?

Also, I have read this graphics chip isnt up to much, how bad is it?

It cost me £559, is that a good price?

Completely and utterly pointless upgrading the RAM. Unless you're going to be doing top end 3D gaming at high resolution, there's nothing wrong with the graphics card.

For info on the low end graphics look here

Don't be too disappointed, you can't have megga graphics in a lappie / notebook with only 12-15 Watts. It's a trade of twixt power / heat / dB and performance.

The spec on the machine is ok, the on chip DX11 will play most stuff but at a lower res. It would have helped us if you had stated the Model number of the DELL in #1

Hope the above URL helps your understanding.
