I have a Compaq Presario 1600 XL145 which currently has 56 MB of ram. I was
wondering if anyone would know if this could be upgraded, it seems awfully
low. I was looking on the Compaq site but couldn't find much info. Also,
links would be ok. TIA

This is the complete specs sheet for your laptop, it looks like it can take
up to 320MB of RAM

He is sure. That laptop came with 64MB, with 8 shared with the video, hence
the 56.
