    What a coincidence, was going to ask this myself for my new A860 that arrived yesterday, also with 1gig already would it be an extra 1gig or 2gig module that folk would recommend.

    Also, any graphics card recommedations?

    I know my way around PC's no bother but laptops are alien to me

    Tks in advance

    Upgrading graphics cards on laptops is generally a no go area. It tends to be either very difficult/impossible. And the RAM is DDR2, widely available online, not too sure which would be the cheapest. Do your laptops come with 2 512mb sticks or single 1024mb sticks?

    all laptop vendors enjoy pinching the penny and pissing you off by using 2x512 sticks. "Dual Memory Channel" and all that BS.

    just the one stick "1024MB (1x1024) 667MHz DDR2 Single Channel", as I said laptops are alien, linky would be appreciated, don't want to get PC memory by accident
