That depends on two factors.  One, you have to know how the memory modules are populated on that notebook, do you have two 256MB modules that you can replace.  Do you have one 512MB module and no extra slots.  Or do you have the kind that has 256MB integrated into the motherboard and only one module that can be replaced.  Two, it depends on what kind of memory you need for it, I mean yes, you need a SODIMM but what speed, some type of DDR or is it DDR2.\n\nThe only thing I can reccomend based on your question is for you to head over to the Crucial Memory Advisor, http://www.crucial.com/store/listmfgr.asp?cat=RAM and either run the scanner or enter your manufacturer and model number to find the ram appropiate for you.\n\nOnce you know what you need, find the best prices on the ram at Newegg, http://www.newegg.com/

http://memory.neon-drive.com/\n\nUse this handy online memory configurator.\n\nEdited:\n\nSome laptops, not sure about the presario, have a little window you can just unscrew at the bottom which houses the memory, meaning it would be easy to do.  If yours doesn't, just do it very, very slowly and methodically, remembering the order you take bits off.  Some connections are very delicate, too.. my husband recently took apart an old thinkpad and snapped the little plastic bit which joined the keyboard on, if we hadn't had a spare thinkpad for parts it would have meant curtains.  Usually RAM is very accessible, though.

This question is not very helpful. A laptop wouldn't have 5GB of memory. A laptop wouldn't even operate at 5 Gigahertz. So I don't have any idea what type of laptop you have. Most of the new ones have either 256MB or 512MB of RAM and somewhere between 30GB and 100GB of hard drive space. Of course, you can buy a better one.

What The Meaning Of Virtual Memory.\nMaybe Your "RAM" Is (512) And You Try\nTo Open More Than One Page At The Same \nTime...Surely Your "RAM" Can't Handle It\nSo You Have To Increase The Number Of Virtual\nMemory More Than (3500MB) That's Mean The\n_________________________________________\nRight Click On "My Computer" Select "Properties"\nNew Wizard Will Open Select "Advanced" Then\nPress "Setting" On The "Performance Box"\nNew Wizard Will Open Select "Advanced" Then\nIn The Virtual Memory Box Select "Change"\nPut The Initial Size = (1500)\nMaximum Size = (3500).\n\nVirutal Memory Use The Hard Disk As "RAM"\nTo Locate More Loaded Pages Or Program.

You need to buy more memory - 256MB is chump change as far as RAM is concerned nowadays. You pretty much need at least 1GB.

Not sure if it can be found here on the web-site but here is the link for your laptop. \n\nGood Luck\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/prodinfoCategory?lc=en&cc=us&dest_page=prodinfoCategory&tool=prodinfoCategory&dlc=en&product=95419

Virtual Memory is hard drive space that windows uses when it thinks that it ran out of real memory, but its use of memory is so horrible that the likelihood of actually running out of real memory is slim.  Right click My Computer, click Advance.  under performance, click settings, and click the advanced tab there.  Click the change button.  For the initial size and maximum size put in 4096.  This creates a static sized swap file.  4GB is a big swap file, but with a 250GB hdd you will hardly notice it.  Also make sure that windows is up to date, as well as any hardware that you have, like video cards, sound cards, add-ins that sort of stuff, and software that you run all the time (bad software can cause memory 'leaks' which will suck away virtual memory).  All this updating can be tedious, but your PC will thank you for it.

No there's not a way around it I'm afraid, you'll have to buy more memory. The good news is it'll be cheap for you, probably less than your monthly broadband subscription as you probably have an older system. If you post your RAM specs on here or email me I can tell you what you need and how to install it into your system

Restoring it back to factory settings is definitely going to make a difference. Another thing that is easy, and relatively inexpensive, to do is add more memory.\n\nMemory (RAM) sticks are pieces of storage space where your operating system (Windows) puts things while they are in use. The more RAM you have, the more you can run at once. This memory does not affect how much data you can store.\n\nAll computer require a certain type of RAM and have a maximum limit. If you go to www.crucial.com and put in the brand and model of your laptop, it will tell you exactly what kind of memory you need. (Examples: PC133 SDRAM, PC2700 DDR, etc). You can buy online or in a store like Best Buy. I recommend buying in a store and having one of their technicians install it. RAM has exposed circuitry and you run the risk of damaging it with static electricity if you don't handle it properly. \n\nIf you do decide to go to a store, bring the laptop and they could even look up what memory you need for you if you do not want to do it or have trouble locating your specific model.

Hard model number to locate! The nearest I got was HP Pavilion 4275 here\nhttp://www.computerbatteries.co.uk/gb3/m/hp/pavilion-dv4275.html\n\nthe site might be worth contacting to figure out a solution\n\nor you can try a looking for universal notebook adapters such as those made by Trust

No you can't change just the video card as in desktops. You'll need to change the mother-board since all Laptops have inbuilt video cards.

If i was you i would completely dry out everything put the new ram to one side reinstall the old ram, then if and when the PC is running go to Crucial and use there scanner to find out exactly what sort of ram you can upgrade to.
