   RAM Upgrade   
   13 Apr 14 20:03:00   
   
   The Vista Basic notebook came with 1 Gb RAM and I added a 1 GB stick   
   to it.   
   At times it acts S L O W.   
      
   In thinking back now I am wondering if I replaced the 1 GB SODIMM RAM   
   with a 2 GB SODIMM stick if I should see any improvement in speed?   
      
   The 160GB HDD in it has 3 partitions,  68GB C: with 6GB unused,   
   68GB D: with 23GB unused, and a Manufacturers Hidden Partition.   
      
   The Paging File is controlled by the System and it's on the D: drive.   
      
   I've tried looking to see if I could set the Hibernation File to the   
   D: drive but haven't learned how to do that yet.   
      
   I've also thought to put a bigger HDD in it by doing a Full Backup of   
   the HDD in it, and then restoreing the Backup to a larger HDD.   
      
   The computer has a Intel Celeron 550 @ 2.00GC/S CPU.   
      
   So should I change the SODIMM RAM and/or get a bigger HDD for it.   
      
   Your Comments Please.    Thanks!
