aloha all.. few questions concerning my laptop i would like to upgrade the hdd / graphics / memory - but am not really sure how or where to go or get the upgrades. as of now the specs on my laptop
Now only want to really use this for gaming at the present i play Vanguard and a few other mmorpg's mainly use my desktop but would like to be able to use my laptop as well. where do i go to find upgrades and would it be worth it too by and have the upgrades installed or possibly find somewhere i can maube trade up my laptop?
the main upgrades i looking for i guess are
2g memory
100g +/- hdd @7200rpm
a better gragraphics card to handle the games better
i appreacite any help in this area have been stuck on it for about a month now.
thank you and aloha
Well, the other problem is the graphics he already has. The 6150, I am pretty sure, is integrated. This usually means that the laptop has no room for graphics expansion. (please correct me if I am wrong)
Other than that, HDD and Ram for notebooks can be found at sites like Newegg.com or tigerdirect.com. Look for a 2.5 inch notebook HDD that runs at 7200 rpm for the best performance. If you have 1gb (2X512mb) you will prbably have to scrap all of your ram and just buy 2 gbs of something new. If it's 1gb in one dimm then you can just add another dimm of similar spec. Run a program like PC WIzard off of cpuid.com to find out the exact specifications of your laptop.
Compaq are nice laptops for the money. But like mine. If you have an intergrate vid card you cannot change it. Which I think yours is. Best to call Compaq and ask them.
ok thanks for the info ill try and call them on monday...i really think i should stick to desktops..Laptops are like cell phones they are cool but so damn danty.....
Ha-aheo, If still interested in upgrading your laptop, I go to newegg.com for all my computor upgrades cheap & quality products, also fast shipping. I build 2 -3 computors a week and I have not got a bad product yet.
