    It is possible if there is a slot for another RAM.
    Mine goes from 1 GB to 2 GB of RAM.

    depends on the laptop, how much ram it has and the configuration of said ram.

    Use this. It will scan your laptop to see if you can have some mroe RAM.

    Most if not all recently made laptops allow for upgradable RAM. I got an extra 1GB RAM chip with my Laptop when I purchased it well over a year ago.

    It's very easy to insert aswell, and trust me...even the slightest upgrade in RAM can make a huge difference.

    Older laptops have a low chance of adding additional RAM.

    Do a Google to get an Instruction page for your model.It should tell you where the RAM is located and its configuration.Some have 1 bank soldered in,some have like 2 x 1gb chips with no spare slots,some have 1 x big chip and 1 spare slot.......

    This Advent one I'm using had 1 x chip that is easily gotten to,but to get to the other-it needs to be split in half-a major job.

    The Acer netbook I recently bought has 1 x 1gb soldered chip,and to get to the spare Ram slot is a split in half job.

    use the crucial website for that to check if its possible to add a ram in your laptop.
    You dont have to buy that brand if you dont want to.

    My 2003 compaq is so slow and i upgraded it with an additional 512 with the 128 fixed ram to make it 640 MB... well, its ok a bit and i found that my laptop can use 3GB of ram...but the ram cost a lot so, i'm happy with 640.
