One of my colleagues has a Compaq Presario v3000 with 512 MB ram and has recently upgraded the OS to Windows 7. Needless to say, the system crawls during multi-tasking. Advised him upgrade the RAM and I find that I have suddenly become the resident senior techie:ashamed: and have to accompany him on a visit to buy or order online.
I ran a test in crucial.com to see what RAM this laptop is currently having and these are the results "DDR PC2 - 5200" and an another empty slot. Also a message came saying that each slot can hold DDR2 PC2-5300 with a maximum memory of 2 GB per slot.
What to buy? Will DDR2 work in place of DDR? Can anyone provide some helpful links or point out a good shop in Bangalore? Help really appreciated.
