Also, can I add more memory w/o changing the mb as it has only 2 GB of DD2 RAM? Overclocking ram or something? Probably not, but you can never be 100% sure. |
Can you even upgrade your CPU? Most laptops have it soldered in. An obvious problem is that your CAS and RAS latencies are terrible. Are these what your modules are rated for or is this simply what your bios is set at? This makes a big difference for applications with poor spatial locality.
Overclocking ram will not help you with your memory limit. Check what the limit is on the latest bios update for you mb.
