Im looking at upgrading my studio 1555 from 4 gig ram to 8 gig-180 bucks! and the cpu to core 2 duo from a dual core-40 bucks. my OS is Windows 7 64bit. I use on board graphics.
Would i see a significant difference in speed etc. or should i be looking at replacing it with a new laptop? Is it worth it?
My wife uses it for microsoft office, emailing/vpn, dvds, internet surfing some kids games yet it seems so slow loading up and at times within the programs or opening programs them selves. I've done everything i can do to maximize its speed/potential...malware/adware scanning, virus scanning, bios/os tweaking/updating, etc. just seems to get to a point but no faster. Thanks.
