Hi guys,
I bought this laptop 2nd hand from the members market in 2010 I think, as you can imagine it's starting to show its age.
I only really play tf2 or cs:go infrequently which it seems to handle okay, aside from that I'm a software engineer so IDEs can be heavy on it.
I'm considering upgrading the ram and getting an ssd. Please note though I used to build rigs decades ago I'm very out of the loop and therefore an idiot.
So upgrading to 8gb of ram and adding an ssd, will this be worthwhile? I've no idea of the price of these things. As for size, SSD definitely wouldn't need to be over 256GB. I assume I can't keep my HDD and just add the SSD, direct replacement only?
thanks for any help you can provide
