My girlfriend's laptop is running really sluggishly and I think it's down to memory and general hard drive space. The drive is only 69gb or so and I've managed to get 29gb free but I then wondered if the memory could do with an improvement? I went onto the Corsair website and entered the model into the configurator and it seemed to think it could take up to 4gb?! Surely not???

I'm also thinking maybe it would benefit from a bigger hard drive, but unsure what type it takes, could be sata or IDE (obviously 2.5" though).

I can't find and manuals/info online about what it can take which is frustrating too! Any other info would be great!
 
Yeh I wondered if it was an 80gb with hidden partition.
Think I'll get her a 2x1gb kit then, see if any is going cheap on the MM :)

I'll take the drive out later today and have a look, cheers for the info guys :)

EDIT - just found the 2gb kit that came with my iMac. It's PC2-6400, would this be ok?
