RAM or CPU?
family laptop ran excellent when we first bought it, but now is running a little on the slow side. freezes a lot. as we don't really want to purchase a new one at the moment, i was planning on just popping in an additional 1GB RAM. (right now we're running XP SP2 on the min 256 MB)
however, note that the processor is a Celeron 2.30 GHz. even if more RAM is added, will it not really matter because of the budget CPU? i don't want to upgrade that, not worth it, but just wondering if i should bother investing in more RAM.
(i think it might help, but i'm not sure if significantly...my comp is running at 1.8 GHz on an AMD and performs significantly better, despite slower clock speed)

Definitely get more RAM. These days, even 512 MB is inadequate, and 256 MB is far too little. Also, most laptops, especially budget laptops, don't allow you to upgrade the CPU. A good site for RAM is newegg.com. 1 GB should not cost a lot.

In 32-bit, the hollow between 3 and 4GB isn't vast, because you won't be able to even handle all 4GB. it really is fairly a evaluation of 3GB vs 3.25GB(estimate). both.fifty 3 must be swifter. even though it really is in straightforward words seconds in encoding/interpreting over both.2Ghz.
