Compaq Computer Memory

Upgrade Compaq EVO Laptop Memory

If you've owned an EVO laptop since buying it new, upgrades are always worth looking at if you have the money and are looking for a little more functionality. The easiest and most effective upgrade most laptop owners can make is upgrading the RAM. If there's any exception to the "don't buy to upgrade" rule it's RAM. Some retailers fool around with selling new laptops with Vista installed and only 512MB RAM, which just isn't enough for Vista. Rather than paying the retailer $100 to upgrade the RAM, you can buy another 512MB online for much less, which will get it up to 1GB. If you have a bit more to blow, 2.0 GB of matched RAM is the best option for Vista. Windows XP will run on 256MB, but is better with 512MB or more.
