    Ok, i have a sony Vaio, and i love it, im getting 2 1G sticks DDR for it, vista isn't my favorite part of it. However, on my keyboard, i have to use a sort of shift button to control volume and the brightness, the "Fn" Key, but it doesn't want to work sometimes, i have my laptop unlugged and i would like to turn the brightness up on my LCD but it isn't working, am i missing something? or is my button broken?

    And for my DDR, im looking on newegg, and i found some Kingston DDR, its nice, 800mhz, but idk if its compatable with my laptop, anyone know a way to find out besides opening my laptop?

    Appreciate any help!


    Thanks!

    You did not say which Vaio you had - but don't spend the money on 800mhz memory, just stick to the PC5300, 667mhz.

    As for your FN key problem, what other aps have you installed - or uninstalled?

    im 17 years old, the only thing ive doen with my laptop is install photoshop, Marcromedia flash, and i update it. but i havent installed any apps.

    i have an NR series vaio, not sure of the model

    and the reason i was going for the 800mhz was because its only $21 on newegg

    ive plopped my butt infront of a computer since i could grab a mouse, i going to college for engeneering and technology, so m dad baught me the laptop to get me off his desktop and to get me ready for college, but the programs and things that i run on my laptop take up alot of memory when im using them so im getting the RAM.

    graphic design will be my second major when i go back to college
