zoom! zoom!
TheRAM arrived today; just swapped it out with the old chips. Twice as much, and a much faster transfer rate. I think my login time (password to desktop) is down under 10 seconds now; boot-up is under half-a-minute.
I just opened up an 800 line openoffice spreadsheet in like four seconds…seriously, this thing is flying right now.
The laptop feels brand new (well, except for the scuffs on the case), and it better, because with this memory upgrade, I’ve maxed out the board…I really don’t want to give up this case for a newer model; I love the form factor. It’s a little ugly, but terribly comfortable and convenient.
Hopefully now, with all this extra speed and storage, I can put off buying another machine for another year or two…wish me luck!
