Dell Latitude e6500 memory upgrade

[beckerson1]

I'm looking to upgrade my memory in my Dell Latitude E6500 from the stock 4GB to at least 8GB. I'm wondering what company/brand you guys suggest I should go with.


OS:

Windows 8 (64bit)

Memory:
DDR2 PC2-6400

Here is what Crucial recommends:

Programs I will be running (sometimes at the same time):

Paintshop Pro X5
VideoStudio Pro X5
ProEngineer/Auto CAD

Is it your only computer? because the DDR2 is way too overpriced. Back to the topic, get the good brands like G.SKILL, Crucial, and Kingston. The RAM is like DDR2 PC2-6400, 200-pin SODIMM.

Or the link from Crucial http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=2B6B6667A5CA7304

If you can save more $$ get the new laptop that you get better performance from it.

Yes it's my only computer. I would get a new computer but wouldn't want a laptop. Would rather build one.

Just want to upgrade the memory as this laptop has been good to me.

Many consider that upgrading an old PC is just a waste of money but many would be amazed just upgrading the memory. You have chosen the right thing, I assume you already have the memory if in case you haven't found it or maybe some1 else wants memory for this laptop then try below websites. I have had good experience with kingston (http://www.kingston.com/en/memory/search?DeviceType=3&Mfr=DEL&Line=Latitude&Model=49031) if you need a little variety in brands & prices then try this one - http://www.memorystock.com/memory/DellLatitudeE6500.html
