try the memory configurator from http://www.memoryc.ie/memory_configurator/index.html

Just put in the make and model, and it will do the rest for you

Thanks Manties but this does not work as the manufacturer iQon is not on the list. I also tried searching by model but got nothing either.

Opened up compartment on laptop to look at existing RAM make, it is:
256MB KINGMAX (32x64)SOD21-88KM

I am still not sure what this is or how much more I should or would be able to get. Any ideas?

Anti

What is the model of the machine? Ill have a search online to see fi i can find out how much it will take, and then link you to the ram.

The model I used for the search was the same as system model above:
System Model
MTC Montara-GML FAB-2
Not sure what this is but it came up I ran the Belarc Advisor software

Anti

okay turn the laptop over, and there should be a sticker on the base that will give you the model name. MTC Montara-GML FAB-2 is the name and coed of the motherboard.

The model name should always be on the laptop somewhere, around the keyboard, or screen perhaps. But almost always un a sticker on the underside of the lapotop.
