Hi,

I have an ACER Travelmate laptop (exact model to follow if necesary) and its specs are; 1.5GHz CPU, 40GB Hard drive (actually 2 x 20GB HD's) and 256 MB RAM.

I want to know if it is worth my while upgrading it, as it can be slow at times.

I beleive that upgrading the RAM will offer the most noticeable improvement.

Would upgrading the memory to say 1GB make much difference?

Also, can I upgrade the CPU? And would a better chip make a big difference or is the motherboard/FSU the limiting factor?

Many Thanks
Al
