X205 SLi1 Upgrades

Im looking into boosting my X205 up to 4gb of ram and im wondering if anyone could recommend some good notebook ram for me, im more of a desktop person but im in iraq and ive been having to settle for this laptop lol, im also looking to upgrade the hard drives. Are the hard drives the same as a desktop would be i know the ones in the notebook ate sata so of course id look for that, again any recomendations? any help on upgrades for this thing would be good info for me thanks

 

I have Kingston"s 2x2gb sticks. The hard drive you could put a 7200rpm HD in your primary drive and run your games from that drive and use the 2nd stock HD for basic storage, or go with a 320/500gb 5400rpm primary drive with the stock 2nd drive. High cap. 5400rpm HD's are close to the performance of the lower cap. 7200's. Also upgrade to a newer Gpu driver, this will help you most, say the 169.09 from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ also use the Vista tweak guide in this forum. Update Vista and install all hotfixes http://www.nzone.com/page/home.html I heard it snowed in Iraq today, I'd love to try my snowboard there (HAHAHA!!!!)

 

The Harddrives are not the same size as desktops, unless these 17" desktop replacement laptops use them but I doubt it because desktop hardrives do not cope well with movement.

 

WD Scorpio 320GB and the new Hitachi Travelstar 5K500 both 2.5's. I forget who but someone is offering a 1TB (2 Hitachi's) for sale in their notebook.

 

You are aware that the only way your computer is going to see all four gigs of ram is if you are running a 64 bit version of windows. As for the hard drives, I would go with a Hitachi 200Gb 7200rpm for your primary and whatever you want for the secondary, probably a 5400rpm drive with more space. I would also upgrade the processor on there.
