Please log in for more thread options It's not a given that you can upgrade to a Pentium M 2.13, unless this
model was offered with that chip. There may be significant differences
between the chip you have now and that one.
An upgrade to 1GB of RAM might make a noticeable difference (depending
on what you do), but going from 1GB to 2GB is unlikely to do much unless
you are running some very memory-intensive applications. For normal
desktop use, most of the benefit from increasing memory has been
realized even by the time you get to 512M.
If you are talking about spending $350, your best out might be to sell
the entire laptop on E-Bay, and combine the proceeds of the sale with
the $350 and get a new laptop.
