Well, yeah another question, sorry.

I'm really looking for your opinion, at the minute, I'm running Vista Home Premium with 1 GB of ram. Its not a particularly fast system, but I mainly use it for internet access and documents, along with watching TV and Movies.

The thing is though that start-up can be a bit slow and every now and again I just wish that it would run a bit faster, it occasionally freezes and such. MY RAM usage sits between 80 and 90% even if all I'm doing is surfacing the internet. Although I have to say if it was a bit more reliable ( even with SP1) Readyboost is brilliant, with so little RAM it really does make a big improvement on the system. I'm using a 2GB SD card and it noticeably speeds everything up but it seems to be a bit hit or miss whether it starts working when you turn the laptop on.

I'm sort of unsure if I should be spending any money at all on the laptop, thinking about getting a decent desktop PC for going to Uni for something more reliable ( and I sure won't have any money to spend once I get there). I've found a site which will sell me the RAM for my exact laptop model with a guarantee it will work, I'm not confident enough yet to try and work out what I need.

All I need is a stick of 1GB ram despite what everywhere says the laptop is not fitted with the two 512mb sticks it is supposed to be. And it will cost me £15.

So in your opinion is it worth spending the money or should I just keep going with what I've got. In know its not a lot but I could find other thing to spend it on.
