I have a reaaaaaaally old laptop for $200 , a 2007 brand hp pavilion dv6646 model. I went on crucial and did a scan on my laptop and it cost me $100 to upgrade from a 2gb to a 4gb. It would make a difference but is it worth paying another $100 for it? Or I should just sell my laptop and buy another one since 4gb ram are in most laptops in the market.

Code:

#HP Pavilion dv6646us - Turion 64 X2 TL-58 1.9 GHz - 15.4" TFT

#   Wide-screen , High-gloss/Anti-glare screen 
# AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology TL-58 / 1.9 GHz 
# 32-bit processor
# RAM  2.0 GB / 4.0 GB (max)
#  Technology   DDR2 SDRAM 
#  NVIDIA GeForce 7150M
#  Hard Drive   160.0 GB - 5400.0 rpm 
# Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit / sp1

$100 just for 2gb? Not worth it.

It was about $50 until they stop making 4GB kit (2GBx2), 200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 memory module I think. The lowest price is $84.00 w/o tax though

The number of available slot in most notebooks is 2*.
Having 2GB can be in the following configurations depending on how the factory install it.

Config#1
2x 1GB= 2GB

Config#2
1x 2GB= 2GB

If you have the setup of #2, then your in luck as they're should be a free slot available for a extra 2GB.

A single piece Crucial 2GB DDR2 (800MHz) is $40.99

If you have the setup of config#1, then it's a bummer as if you want 4GB, you will need to remove both pieces
and it will cost you

-The same ram but you buy 2 of them = $81.98 or
-Crucial 4GB kit (2x2GB) = 84.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148159

Not enough money?
Just get a single piece 2GB and upgrade it to 3GB.


*Certain new notebooks will have 4 slots.
