Hi folks, My friend has a Compaq Concerto 486 with 4MB RAM. She intends to increase it by 8MB to 12MB soon. She needs it for running MS Access and net-surfing. Does anyone has any experience with increasing RAM for this notebook? Specifically, which RAM is good, how much is the cost, any dramatic increase in speed? We heard of Kingston. Is it good?

As far as I know Compaq uses proprietary ram. The compaqs I've seen have the ram installed on a card which is fitted onto a panel at the back. Its easy enough to put in. I once took apart a compaq notebook to see what compnents they used. But because its not standard ram you probaly have to buy the ram from Compaq. soocc@singnet.com.sg (Aloysius) wrote: >Hi folks, >My friend has a Compaq Concerto 486 with 4MB RAM.
