This
upgrade gives you the best possible performance but is also the most expensive.
Treat the surplus memory module gently, and you may be able to sell
it on eBay.

them??”so verify that your laptop does before you buy them.

Project 1: Max Out Your Memory and Turbo-Charge It with ReadyBoost 7
Add 1GB to the third slot By installing a 1GB memory module in the third
slot, you double the memory to 2GB. This is an affordable upgrade that will make
a big difference without you needing to discard any of the existing memory.
Add 1GB to the third slot and replace one or two of the 512MB modules
If 2GB memory isn??™t enough, you??™ll need to not only add a 1GB memory module
to the third slot but also replace either one or both of the 512MB memory
modules.
