Great tutorial. I have one a compaq nc8430, but it seems wireless are failing. I have been wondering if I should keep the old laptop or get a new one. It still runs fine with everything else. Did you notice any difference with 4GB installed? The CPU is still fairly decent by todays standards.

Wonderful information. I was almost to brake my Laptop. Then I found this instruction and 5 minutes later the Laptop was running again with 3 GB. Below the keyboard a 2 GB modul and on backside a 1 GB modul.
Thank you a lot.

Thank you for this very helpful information. I would make a donation to you but I’m a little leery about using my credit card. If you would send me information where I could send a check, I would be glad to do that.
