Hello, Johan,

This may answer your question regarding benefits of upgrading.

Hi Pat,

thanks for the anwser, but my question was not about upgrading ram or cpu or simillar, since im fully aware what the effect that has, and how to do it. But i was wondering about the top memory and what benefits might come from upgrading it.

You can follow this link to see what exacly im talking about, and again this is not the RAM.

Hi and thanks again Pat,

Ok that link is also about how to install the ram module.
I dont need any info on how to install ram,cpu, fans, HDD and so on, i know all about that since i have built my share of computers in the past.

I want to know what function the TOP memory has, and can i gain preformance from upgrading it?
Note! top memory is NOT the Ram memory.

there's something for you to bite in Pat ;)

The pictures from the url enlightened me to the fact we're dealing with a laptop. Now I'm under the impression it's a Compaq albeit that has not been specified.

More memory means smoother operation, especially for memory-intensive applications such as video and music editing.

(upgrade to 512MB if you don't have it)

Adding memory allows your computer to run more programs at the same time without impacting your performance.

Processor speed directly effects computer performance. A fast processor is good, but expensive, and in some cases itâ s unnecessary.

Ok Pat ill try to be more clear.

I know everything about what effect ram and cpu and so on have on the computer.
I have overclocked and moded graphic cards, mainboards and built my own systems and so on, on numerous stationary computers to squeeze as much ower out of them as possible.

So i dont need a lecture in that.

Ok you right we are talking about a notebook, Compaq NX7000 but sold as HP Nx7000.

All i want to know is:
What the TOP MEMORY is, and what funtion it has and if it can be upgraded.
Nothing else.

ooh i almost forgott to say thanx for trying

Johan,

These were the options and accessories available for the NX7000 (which should have stayed Compaq).
