Title: Got a new laptop
Post by: Hoby on November 10, 2009, 11:49:37 PM
Bought a laptop off a girl at work for way cheap.  Its less than a year old.  Used it for a few minutes the other night but havent looked at the specs so don't know if anyone can really help until i find out the specs.  Im looking to use it just for resource farming, like miningk, or lj'ing.  As far as upgrades I was thinking about maxing out the memory if it isnt already, then maybe the hard drive size.  What do you think?  Right train of thought??  I dont want to spend alot of money, so for moneys worth what would be best.  Thoughts.

make/model?  HD upgrade will be cheap, not sure about RAM.  best to buy RAM sooner than later while the RAM is being produced in big batches with lots of competition.  if you're only getting the HD for archive data, you could get a cheap external USB one, i just got a 500gb with a western digital inside for $65 with free shipping.

Well for resource farming will be ok anything up from p3 1.4mhz with 1gb ram. I was farming hell of a lot back when i had that pc. So if that's the case just get RAM and maybe some HDD so you have enough room for D/Led stuff ^^
