What would make this laptop work better?

I think the PC will support 2GB of RAM. This VAIO is being sneaky and running just fine this evening. I don't think it wants new RAM

I have hp 6910p. I have went from 2gb ram to 4gb ram, I upgraded from windows vista 32 bit system to windows 8 64 bit, and a 80gb hard drive to a 120 gb SSD drive. it's fast as I can make it

Pentium M with Windows XP should be ok if you're not expecting too much of it, but you do need more than 512 MB of RAM for today's software.

Your laptop probably has two memory slots. If only one is occupied and it uses DDR2 then you're in luck - you can simply add another SODIMM (memory module). I have a Hynix 512MB PC2-4200 (OEM from HP) module right here that I took out of my Pentium M laptop. I don't need it.

Windows XP can use up to about 3.3 Gbytes.


Here's the Crucial website memory scan http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/viewscanbyid.aspx?id=2548E74131D926C3


Not to hijack this thread but THANKS!!!

I just tried the crucial scanner and found I could upgrade my laptop to 4GB of RAM from 2GB for $70. I use a Dell Precision M90 for work and it has just started to max out with the many applications I run. This will boost it to 3.5GB with XP.

RAM and a faster / bigger hard drive works wonder.
