A random question please > Info on of how much improvement in speed performance would I get out of a upgrade in memory/ of a Acer Travelmate note book model 290. It is a 2 yr old mod with xp/pro
At present it has 256 Mb of ram but can go to 2g // If I upgrade it to 2g will this improve the efficiency speed ,,, even though it is using dial/up??
Thank you for your time.

No amount of memory is going to help internet speed, above having enough for the OS to actually operate in RAM.

The 'sweet spot' for XP is about 1 GB.

Yes, overall, more RAM will improve performance.
