so I have the option to add more RAM upto 6gb? and i could purchase 4gb from the link? is this easily fitted yourself?
Thanks for all your help!!
It is actually quite easy to install RAM. Check the videos at the link below for instructions.
thats so easy! only problem is finding the suitable RAM in the UK at a reasonable price, buying from that link will cost me too much from international shipping and import fees 😟
thanks again
