Blog #5 A Ram Upgrade is in order i think

So for the past 6 months I've had to suffer with 212mb RAM due to my main machine exploding and forcing me to use my HP/Compaq Pavilion a330 .

However i have great news i have been looking online for ram upgrades and i can get a 1GB Ram stick for £33.32 including VAT.

Not bad and a very good investment on my behalf as when i install it i will be able to install my Windows Vista Disc meaning i have an up to date Operating system and the capacity to play World of Warcraft Private servers and also Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare which i am buying this Friday from my friend for only £10 :D

I am very excited for this, however i will not be able to order the RAM upgrae until Monday at the latest as my money doesn't come until friday and i have to give my money to my mum to order it ... i hate not having a debit card -.-

Comment by TehUberMatt on March 11, 2009 at 8:35am: I have a Vista disc that is called home premium lite

it fits on my 4 GB blank disc comfortably so i am confident it wont be too much strain on my system

Comment by Jon Sheline on March 10, 2009 at 8:24pm: Matt...if your machine has a capacity of 2 GB, do that at least. Take it from one who knows...I run my Vista laptop on 1GB, and while it can be done, I do not recommend it to anyone who does not have seemingly endless patience like I do. My laptop is expandable to 4 GB, and if I could afford it I would certainly do it. Vista Home Premium on 1 GB is not for the faint of heart...it requires the utmost in creative juggling of applications and pretty much rules out a good bit of multitasking...and this coming from someone who doesn't game or use a lot of RAM hogging apps.

Comment by TehUberMatt on March 10, 2009 at 12:15pm: my pc is only upgradable to 2gb tho hence getting the 1gb

i will get another in future too

Comment by Inspector Gadget on March 10, 2009 at 9:13am: as much as i agree 2 to 4gb would be good, unless you really want aero 1gb will run just fine. i ran vista on my machine with 2.93ghz single core celeron and 512mb ddr 333. and it ran pretty decent, now had i had a gig it would have flied.

Comment by Steven O'Brien on March 10, 2009 at 8:28am: Spend an extra bit of money and get at least 2GB, it's worth it, trust me.

Comment by TehUberMatt on March 10, 2009 at 6:15am: Thanks for the feedback , i will certainly keep this in mind when testing vista out , if it fails i will always have my XP Backup :)

Comment by the-geekatron on March 10, 2009 at 5:57am: dont do it mate 1gb of ram and vista is not worth iti did that first things are now a little better with 4 gigs 1 gig is a stupid thing to do if you know what will happen it is just painful looking and the bootup screen.
