    Hello all, this is my first post to this wonderful website and i just wanted to congratulate the owner for all the help that this site managed to give me.
    Now, coming to the point, i just bought a new G2S and i want to upgrade the Hard Drive and ram.
    Right now the notebook has a 200gb Fujitsu hard drive with only 4200 rmp speed. I'm planning on buying a 200gb 7200 rmp hard drive and i wanted to know if any brand of Sata hard drives will be compatible with my machine. Also i was think of buying a 2gb Ram stick so i can now have 3gb in my system.
    Could anyone please tell me if i need a specific sata hard drive and a specific Ram for my machine or anyone will do. Will these upgrades reasonably improove my gaming experience or is not woth the money? Thanks a lot for the help :)

    Assuming that your machine indeed has a SATA interface (which is pretty much a given if it's new) then any SATA 2.5" drive should fit, there's no other specific "requirement".

    The extra memory may or may not make a difference depending on how RAM intensive your games are.
