Hey, Im "doing up" my sisters laptop. She has a Compaq NX9005. Now after doing a little of my own research on: http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/notebooks/0,39023984,39117118,00.htm And other sites she needs: 200-Pin PC2100 (266MHz) DDR SODIMM Is that right? So therefore i was thinking of getting this: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/106052 She needs it for word processing and browsing the internet. And of course 256mb really isnt enough! But with that processor well lets face is it is OK. I think shel be fine! What do you guys think? LEcsiy
hi, before you buy any of those modules go to www.hp.com and find your sister model and check the memory compatibility list.. because compaq pc´s and notebooks run only with a few memory brands..
I'd tout this at the moment. http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/39703 Admittedly comptibility needs to be checked (and hp don't make it easy for you!) but I'd have thought if there's one brand that's compatible with HP laptops it'd be Kingston...
Right i kinda checked compatability not too sure what im doing atm! Looks like it is kingston! So can anyone point me to preferably on ebuyer some ram that will deffo unless faulty work on this laptop! Also im looking for 512mb! Lecsiy
Cheers dudes! Just ordered it off ebuyer now! Now before it comes just quikcly. Im pretty experienced and know how easy it is to install ram into a dektop pc. However for a laptop im a virgin! Hehe soo what do i do i saw there were like metal claspes. Do i pull them out or something?? LEcsiy
well i had an hp laptop it clearly said 2 slots so when i opened it there was only 1 slot the other slot was beneath the keyboard! after 30 min i found it and 15 min to close it back
Nahh ive already opened it up. And theres clearly a place for another DIMM. So hopefully all will be good! So i forgot to ask you guys: The Compaq NX9005 With a 768Mb Of ram (Done that in my head) Is that worthy of browsing the internet and word processing?? Lecsiy
Well yeah, but it would be with only 256MB of RAM. If that's all it's for are you sure you need more memory?
Its really not. Its a lot slower than what youd think. So my plan of action is: Backup data . Scan it with a Anti virus prog. Install ram.. see how it goes any noticecable improvement. If not: Format hdd Install windows again Change some basic settings to make it faster. And then hopefully itl be running spik and spam! Then i reap the benefits from my parents.. Hehe my birthday is coming up and wanna get the best present a can squeese out of them! A 360 with a few games is in order me thinkks! haha LEcsiy
Hey everyone! Just a quikie! All done the laptop is working just great! Posting from it with its 700 odd mb of ram! Wooo hehee! Lecsiy
