Hi,
I have a laptop (no desktop) which I use for basically everything that needs a PC. Studies, gaming, browsing, everything. Problem is: while I am gaming (the usual shooters: Battlefield, Call of Duty) I'm experiencing heavy amounts of lag...
So I did some research, and I've concluded I need more RAM. These are my specs (or actually, what it says on the sticker beneath the keyboard):
ACER Aspire 5742G
Intel Core i3-370M
15.6" HD LED LCD
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
4GB DDR3 of RAM
500 GB HDD (actually, that one's different, I got a 720 GB HDD after the original one died, but a part of that is for my linux partition, leaving around 550GB for my Windows partition)
DVD-Super Multi DL drive
Acer Nplify 802.11b/g/n
6-cell Li-ion battery
Not sure why I posted the last three here, as I dont think they have much to do with the problem or anything, but whatever.
So, I want to upgrade my RAM. Now here comes the ACTUAL QUESTION:
Which RAM should I choose, think of manufacturer, some sort of number in mhz, all that stuff.
About the budget: I was hoping to spend below 50$. Shipping is no problem, I have a paypal account but no creditcard.
Thanks in advance!
