Re: how much RAM

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Quick question, I have an old HP omnibook 6000 laptop that I have just
completely wiped, and installed XP pro (current updates and all). I keep the
pc very clean as far as junk programs; I use it only for the internet and the
office suite (2003). My question is, it comes stock with 128mb ram, and has
an additional spot for another piece, total up to 512mb. Any ways, the
processor is running at about 647 MHz. How much RAM should I look at having
to get the most out of this little thing? Do you think getting a stick of
256 to make for a total of 384 is overkill with that small of processor, or
should I maybe just get another stick of 128 to make 256? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben


First, locate what size of RAM is available for this laptop.

Make sure you deal with name-brand RAM, like Kingston, Corsair or HP.

See how much you can afford.
