i just brought a new laptop its a samsung r439-da02 here is the system info

i could also get a MSI c420-145441-258, i chose the samsung as it was the only one with an international warranty

they both were around $600 australian dollars, im just wonderng if this was a good buy?

not that much ram :\, would suggest at the very least 3, 2GB is mostly for netbooks. even my 350$ laptop has 3GB of ram.

hardly any ram at all
what about graphics and HDD?

I would have got at least 4gb RAM (and 64-bit OS), other than that core i5 is pretty good, and yeah that doesn't list your gpu/hard drive etc :)

sorry for the huge picture, im pretty sure that answers any questions, ican ad more ram pretty easily cant I? i dont all that much about computers =]

nice HDD
also ram is easily upgradeable, and your only using one so you wont need to take any out
but make sure you get the right ram and dont get any ram that is slower than you already have

thanks, so i went to this website http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/viewscanbyid.aspx?id=18B48A3131D926C3 and it told me i can get either DDR3 PC3-8500 or DDR3 PC3-10600 any suggestions as to which one i should get? and do i need buy another 2gb or can i put a 6gb with the existing 2gb?

well assuming you have a 8500 then you might as well get the 8500 as the faster one wont be any faster than the 8500 one

but if you have anything faster than 8500 then go for the 10600

EDIT: yes you can stick the 4GB in and if your getting it from there then get the 10600 as the prices are the same

how do i check which one i have? im not to sure if im going tobuy it there, i ust used the scanner, i might just buy it from somewhere oca in australia

seemslike you love ispy =]

run this and take a screenshot of the "Memory" tab

you have 1333 mhz
which is 10600

so go for the 10600

there is no use in slowing down your laptop for extra ram, always go with speed over quantity (unless it something like 1gb v 16gb)

thankyou for your help and quick replies

so it i go for something like this it wil be fine? also how do i know how many pins it needs?
