    I got 512 Ram in my E1505 right now but I need more because vista has been lagging recently. What would you guys recommend?

    Well you should check out newegg.com they have a great selection of notebook memory for pretty cheap. I recommend Corsair- the more the better as Vista is a mem hog, you should be fine with atleast a gig. You will need DDR2 200-Pin 533 or 667MHz notebook memory.

    Yes, newegg is a good place. 1Gig is fine but 2Gig if you want real smooth experience, especially with the Home premium or ultimate editions.

    1GB will be enough to run Vista Home Premium and regular programs, though if you're planning on running games, editing videos and the like, you'll probably want 2GB.

    I have vista ultimate w/o areo right now. I have 1 stick of 512 in my system. I cant get 2gb unless I replace my 512 right? My budget is like 100 bucks so what should I do.

    If you have 1 stick of 512MB ram, you could just get another 1GB stick of ram. 1.5gigs will be enough for most apps.
