QUOTE(steventan85 @ May 14 2007, 09:19 PM) get another 1gb .....it can also run dual channel ...i done it b4 d... i hav run it for 1week+ and it show dual channel on the CPU-ID there sufficient ? depend on how u use it .... if u run aero on it , it may juz enuf only ....but then if u switch it off , it is sufficient enuf ....   steven, are you joking? one can never run dual channel without 2 similar sized rams. Even if the cpu-id show dual channel, I am sure that is a bug. Dual channel have a proper configuration only can work. The best is to check using your laptop system bios.

I came across certain people that says dual channel would be a lot better with applications but when it comes to games single channel and more RAM will perform much better. |

NoNo..you wrong..last time model dual channel juz can run in 512MBX2,or same size.Nowadays board,can put 512MB+256MB,or 1GB+512 togther run in dual channel.Its intel inovative technology.If dont trust go see intel website.It begin since the 945 chipset.

So how long would it takes to create a partition from a new lappy? And use 3rd party software or use vista install cd better?

hm..i'm not sure bout vista but i assume its around the same..for me, format + partition + reinstall xp = 30 min or so
the backing up process is the one taking hours of my time!
thats y i suggest u do the partition now rather then later

Since the 1st time u dun partioned it,the second time ur only1 partiton cant be extend anymore unless u format. :cool2:Or the 1st time u create 1 partiotn,and another part haven be partioned..then u might can do like that.
