I've just doubled my laptop's RAM to 4 GB.

It seems to be a lot snappier now.

I've just taken a terrifying gamble.

My laptop has a maximum RAM capacity of 8 gigs.

Currently, it has a total RAM of 6 gigs, composed of one 2-gig card and one 4-gig card.

The 2-gig card is welded in place, which means I can only replace one of the cards.

Clearly, I can't get a 6-gig card, to bring the total up to 8-gigs, as they don't make 6-gig cards.

Therefore, I've just bought an 8-gig card which will combine with the 2-gig card to total 10 gigs which is 2 gigs more than my laptop can handle.

The Internet informs me that either the laptop will ignore the excess gigs and work like an 8-gig machine or it'll refuse to work until I remove the excess RAMmage.

I've taken an informed gamble on it doing the latter rather than the former. scared

If it pays off, I'll have 8 gigs of RAM, rather than the current 6. scared

It'll work, but you probably won't notice much difference.

I've got an old laptop with 4gb that the OS can only see 3gb cuz of the old and feeble Northbridge, or was it southbridge?

I've now installed my extra RAM.

My laptop now has 8 gigs of RAM.

When I first bought it, it only had 2 gigs.

I admire Wendi's boldness. I was always happy to take my desktop PC to bits, but I wouldn't meddle with my laptop in case I couldn't put it back together again.

I've used System Monitor and it's showing my laptop as having 9.6 gigs of RAM available to it, which is 1.6 more than is its official maximum capacity. shifty
