Want to upgrade acer travel mate 5320 vista op to windows 7 ........cost?

spud17

Quick look at specs show it as having 2GB max.

FWIW, I've got 64bit Win 7 with Dual Core E6300, and have never managed to get above 2GB memory usage, but at time of purchase 2x2GB kit was on offer.

Win 7 HP 32 Bit OEM for just over £71, fully licensed and easy to install provided OP can get the necessary drivers from the Acer website for W7 and their PC.

If you're in education (or your children etc) then i'd suggest:

would be ideal and a cheap way of getting Windows 7. It generally is speedily delivery (a few days)...

None because Win7 benchmarks almost identically to Vista. Most speed "increases" are due to GUI tweaks to make it "feel" faster.

FWIW, I got a 5320 in to sell on. It came with a Celeron CPU. I upgraded it to a 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo T5500.

I mention this for two reasons (well three actually)

1) You can get a used T5500 CPU off Ebay for next to nothing - typically £10-£15
2) Its a dead easy upgrade involving popping the bottom cover off, undoing 5 screws holding the heatsink in place and swapping out the CPU
3) It'll make a massive improvement over the single core Celeron costing under £50 if you pay someone to fit the CPU.

4gb to _crop_ photos? Stop being daft. You can do that on a netbook, not withstanding the small screen making it annoying.

graphics card is going to grab Ram but looking at the spec for the 5320 its limited to 2gb so sort of not an issue
