    I want to upgrade my Ram, but is it possible? I found my Ram, but they were smaller than normal and there was only two slots total. Damn XP, and its high Ram recomended. Oh yeah, I want to upgrade up to 128MB from 64MB.

    X34, your site doesn't have the Compaq Armada 4220T type Ram.

    Azadre,

    You can only add another 32MB to your laptop. If you couldn't find it on Crucial's site, then its probably really expensive.

    I'd keep an eye out on eBay or look for close out sales...I personally wouldn't spend the $150 or so it a 64MB DIMM would run you...

    You could always try turning off some features (epecially System Restore) to regain some memory. Try doing a search on Google for some tweaks to speed up XP performance on older PCs...or you might consider a less demanding OS (read: older)

    Good luck...

    Azadre,
    have you checked the Compaq memory upgrade tool on their website? It should tell you how much you can install and where you can get it...at least it did last time I used it..(a year or so back)...If I get time tomorrow..I'll try to find the link...(if ya still need the info)...headin to bed..Nite all
