Downgrading Hoster

[Lloyd Te Kani]

Have resolved the problem now, thanks to your input. I can only hope that I can acquire the same knowledge about Hoster as you obviously have.

upgrading laptop ram is easy , i guessed the you have (2 )512g rams, you can just go to www.tigerdirect.com and buy (2) 1g ram,just make sure you buy the right one. laptops ram are usually located at the back of the laptop and the other 1 is under the keyboard, but you have to be careful removing the hinges cover for they break easy.

It is not quite as simple as Billyo makes it out to be. You need to first make sure that your laptops will take the upgrade. Some are not made to be able to go up to that much. This is true specially for older laptops.
Second thing you need to know is exactly what type of memory module is required. There are many types by different pin configurations, speed and capacity of each chip in the module. Check the manufacturers web page for both items.

i'm sorry i didnt make it clear enough..but i think it's easy i am not that much of a comp. geek, but if i can do it i think you can too..if you go to your laptops manufacturer , it should tell you how much you can upgrade to and it tells you what kind to get..in my case its a Dell i was able to see how much ram i could upgrade to, all i had to do was put in my service tag # and i could upgrade up to 2g.but anyway sorry for not making it clear

One of my laptops now has 2gb and the other 2.5gb. Both going well. I now plan to upgrade both OP's to Win 7.

Be sure you uninstall all MTU programs before upgrading.
