for ages i have been using an external hard drive http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&q=hard+drive&cid=11281922012113801362&ei=QIgLTanqKYToiQTut7CqCg&sa=title&ved=0CDAQ8wIwBzgA#p to store all of my documents etc so that my laptop is as empty as it can be to optimise its running speed etc etc. this is now starting to annoy me. is there a way to just increase the memory of the laptop itself? it would seem from my searches http://www.twenga.co.uk/dir-Computers,Laptop-accessories,Laptop-memory that you can buy a new memory chip and replace the old one, now i dont pretend to really know anythng about the insides of maptops, thats why im here so im sorry if this sounds a little wrong... what would you recommend i do?
