    i Have a HP pavillion ZE2262EA
    1.6hz centrino, 512mb Ram

    i want to increase the memory by another 512mb.
    any recommendations as where to get the ram from? im based in the UK, and cheaper would be better ;)

    also is it possible to get Ram in upgrades of 768mb? ive not seen them around, or is it just 256/512/1g etc..

    Thanks

    Well it depends on what you have in your laptop right now. Most of the time when it comes from the manufacturer you will have 2 So-DIMMS...so your 512MB might be 2x256MB. If that is the case and you upgrade 1 to 512MB you will have a total of 768MB.

    Yes RAM only comes in 32,64,128,256,512, 1GB and 2GB sticks. 2GB sticks are uncommon because most computers only support 2GB for now.

    Not for the UK...the one I use is www.newegg.com which only ships to the US. I also use www.zipzoomfly.com I think they only ship to the US, but you might want to check that one out.

    If you want to make sure what's in your notebook without opening it up, download CPU-Z and run it, it will tell you if one or both slots are filled and how much is in each slot, as well as manufacturer, etc.
