How to Upgrade Your Netbook's Memory From 1Gb to 2Gb of Ram

If you have started seeing at upgrading the Ram in your netbook to 2Gb then you have probably looked nearby at some forums and read user reviews and found that you are more confused now than when you started.

You might have seen terms like cl, 667 or 800Mhz and non-Ecc that made you wonder which type of memory that you needed. Well these numbers are all very important, and only clear ones are compatible with your netbook. The best-selling and highest rated netbook memory is the Crucial 2Gb stick so I'll address that singular brand, but this applies to all brands.

Best Laptop Brand

The first thing that you should know is that roughly all modern netbooks (well 95% of them together with Asus, Acer, etc) use the Atom processor which has a front-side bus speed of 667Mhz (for the N280, the N270 is 533Mhz). This is where the memory has to travel through in order for the processor to use it. This tells us that even if you get memory that is listed at 800Mhz it will not help anything, because in order to use it the computer has to underclock it to 667 (or 533)Mhz and some computers don't like to do this.

Another prominent thing to make sure is that the Ram you're seeing at is non-Ecc, and also of procedure 200 pin So-Dimm. This basically just means that it will fit your netbook or laptop.

The third thing we need to look at is Cl, or cs latency. This is basically how fast the Ram itself can operate, or the delay time. The lower the cs latency estimate the better. There are 2 top-selling types of Crucial Ram which you will probably see if you look it up and one is 800Mhz with a cl=6 while the other is 667Mhz with a cl=5.

Their prices are only a combine of dollars apart and most citizen would get the 800Mhz mental it is faster, but precisely after the computer underclocks it to 667Mhz then the second one is faster because it has a smaller cs latency. That is the one I went with and I have had no problems, and I would say nearby a 50% improvement in speed and apps.

Now that you know which type of Ram to get here's a tutorial on how to install it.

Step 1: get the right Ram. Igot the Crucial 2Gb 667Mhz stick for from Amazon.

Step 2: turn off computer and take off battery.

Step 3: take off passage door to memory (mine had a small photo of a ram stick on the door).

Step 4: push 2 small metal tabs away from memory stick

This will cause the memory stick to pop up:

Step 5: pull out 1Gb memory stick and replace with 2Gb stick. Make sure the pins are lined up (it will only go in one way). The Crucial symbol is on the bottom.

Step 6: Push Ram down until metal clips click, replace cover, re-insert battery and boot up computer. If you're running Xp then it will auto-recognize the Ram and no other steps are necessary.

Step 7: Once the computer is booted up hit (windows key+Pause) to bring up the ideas properties box and check to make sure that the new memory is recognized.

If it does then you're done, if not you will need to re-boot while hitting F8 repeatedly to bring up the bios, then adopt the new Ram from the menu to make the computer identify it. Enjoy.
