First, the specs: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_CAEN

Alright, I'm thinking of upgrading the RAM to 1.5-2 GB but some people online have said that it would be a waste of money as they claim that this kind of computer is built for basic stuff and wouldn't show any improvement if it had extra RAM.

I pretty much use this laptop for typing documents, spreadsheets, internet, light gaming (emus and thinking of playing Lineage II) and torrenting.

Why exactly would getting more RAM not show an improvement? I thought more RAM would always be a good thing. Is it just how this model was created?

Educate me, please.
