Comments Off lunchtime laptop upgrade
I’ve been talking about doing this for a while and people are probably sick to death of hearing about it, but I finally upgraded the RAM in my laptop.
It has gone from a dog under vista to a speedy machine. The difference was instantly noticeable.
What surprised me, was how easy it was to upgrade the ram. I was inititally worried that I might break the laptop. I’ve never taken the bottom off a laptop, ever. The only ever time the rear of my laptop has been off is when IT was getting the data off my hard drive before it went back to Acer for two new motherboards.
But after a few false starts last night trying to get the rear off with my set of jewellers screwdrivers, I dialed a 3Bitch. But that was another false start. I got to work and had a brainwave – I keep a small screwdriver at work for repairing my glasses. Its spent a few weeks in the carpark at work when it fell from my keys, but it did the trick. I was in!
So at noon, well, 12.20pm to be precise, I was at my desk here at work, with the back off my laptop, figuring out and getting the ram chips in there. I will advise tonight how its running with the extra ram, but its done the trick.
