A good friend of mine has an HP Pavillion N5150. It runs on WinME and she asked me if it is worth adding RAM to it and installing WinXP. I had a look here: http://configurator.ocztechnology.co...&modelid=15808, and it seems she'll have to buy two 128MB sticks and dispose of the current 64MB one (well, actually she can hand it down to me for other projects...

) What do you guys think? Is it worth it or not? Moreover, is a single 128MB stick a viable alternative? At this site it seems she'll be able to get said sticks (Transcend) at 23 euros + VAT per piece: http://www.memory-configurator.com/H...ook-N5150.html
