I’m using my g-friend’s laptop to control my CD changers. The Music software taps it out and I am finding that it runs out of memory. I can’t have but the music software running either. I can’t run any other applications at the same time or it’ll lock up. Her friends bought her this thing about two years ago so she could email back and forth while she was studying abroad. In other words, it was pretty cheap. We need more memory and speed, and I being the type of fella that likes to do everything myself……am contemplating doing this. How hard could it be?

It’s an Averatec laptop. It has an AMD Mobile Athlon XP-M 1600+ processor…….256 MB DDR…….and a 40 gig Udma 100 hard drive.

What do I do first? It this thing even up-gradable?
