Its hardly capable of doing that none the less, we need to speed this thing up a bit. Its running Vista on a 512mb stick of ram, Im guessing thats where the problem lies. Laptops are foreign to me ive never messed with one before. Can someone link me up to some cheap ram that fits this notebook on newegg. 2gb preferably if that fits into this thing? Thanks
