Cheap & easy notebook performance upgrade
I have a HP DV6204EU notebook which had 1GB RAM and was running Vista Home Basic.
Unfortunately Vista seems to be quite memory hungry, and the notebook was surprisingly sluggish despite the 1GB RAM. Compared to another notebook with only 512mb but running XP home, it was noticeably sluggish. The notebook is mainly used for Photoshop which was also a bit laggy, especially when using a graphics tablet which is annoying.
The obvious route was to add more RAM. I searched around and found this memory at a very good price at NIVO, so I ordered it. The ordering process was a breeze and I was very impressed with their service.
Installing the RAM was very easy. After unplugging the notebook from the AC adapter and taking the battery out (for precaution), I unscrewed the memory cover on the underside of the notebook.
Unfortunately the notebook only has two memory slots and already came with 2 x 512mb, so I had to remove one of the 512mb before I could install the new 1GB module. The new module fitted into the notebook perfectly and I closed it up. I booted up the machine and it picked up the new RAM immediately.
Vista has shown quite a good performance improvement after the upgrade. It now has a quicker bootup time and is quite a bit more responsive when opening up applications. Photoshop is also less laggy.
All in all the RAM seems to be good quality and even comes with a Lifetime warranty which is great.
Upgrading your notebook's memory is a cheap & easy way (almost anyone with a bit of PC knowledge should be able to do the upgrade themselves) to give your notebook a performance boost.
Just a word of advice: Because I had to remove one of the existing 512mb sticks, I ended up with 1.5GB RAM after the upgrade - in a way I "lost" 512mb. I strongly suggest that when buying a notebook that you try to get one with only one memory module (or "DIMM") installed. For example, if the notebook comes with 1GB RAM then the specifications must say 1 x 1024mb, instead of 2 x 512mb. This will ensure that you can get the most out of a future memory upgrade!
