Hi All,
I have a Sony Vaio CCW26fg laptop. It's about 3.5 yrs old now. I am planning to upgrade to a mac but it doesn't seem to be coming within the next 1.5 yrs.
Though I do not have any major complains regarding the system I was thinking about upgrading the hdd to a SSD and ram to 8gigs.
I wanted to know if I can keep my existing HDD and attach an additional SSD (may be a 60 gig or 128 gig) for the OS and upgrade my RAM to 8gigs ? Any compatibility issues I need to check before purchasing the SSD etc.
Secondly, which SSD would be the best in terms of VFM as an investment and considering the default RAM provided runs at 1066 mhz, which RAM should I be going in for.
Config:Processor: Intel i5 M520 @ 2.4 GHz
Ram: 4 GB of DDR3 (i suppose 1066 MHz)
Hard Disk: 500GB @ 5400rpm
Graphics Unit: Nvidia Geforce GT 330 M
Display Resolution: 1600 x 900
Size: 14 inch
Weight: 2.4 Kg (including the battery)
OS Provided: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
