I have checked the Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX Specification It Originally has 2GB Memory and supports upto 4GB RAM max. If you intend to upgrade the RAM, you can buy additional RAM and put them in you system. Here is the HP Guide to Replace RAM and How to Upgrade RAM Guide
Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX has two RAM slots for DDR-2 (533 or 667) Memory Modules. First you have to check that the RAM slot is available for additional RAM. I believe that it has two modules of 1GB each in both slots. So, you have to get two modules of RAM 2GB each to upgrade to 4GB (or one 2GB RAM module to upgrade to 3GB). Hence, it is recommended that you get 2GB replacement module for each 1GB module you have on you system from local laptop repair/ service center, which would be cost effective as existing 1GB RAM Modules would be useless for you upon upgrade.

Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.

Good Luck!
Appreciate generously, if the solution could have been of any help!

My presario 700 has a memory of 240mb, not quite sure, but can it be upgraded? up to what maximum ram?

hi,

yup your memory can still be upgraded up to its maximum supported RAM of 384 mb with a RAM technology SDRAM

note:
upgrading your RAM to that size doen't make major difference to its performance and you can't hardly notice it difference.

Notebook processor too slow, Need upgrade

As far as laptops go, there is not much room for upgrades as far as CPUs go, you can try contacting Compaq to see if they have an upgrade for the processor but that is a long shot.

The other thing you can do it can your local Computer Repair / Maintenance store and see if they do upgrades for laptops.

Laptops are usless for playing games. They may play some low quality games but there is really nothing you can do to upgrade a laptop to make it suitable for playing games. If you are planning on playing PC Games, buy a good Desktop Computer.

Notebook ram upgrade

V2000 is the base series. Looks like the 2418AU was an Aus/NZ model. I think all the info you asked about can be found here. http://www.4allmemory.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=search.memorySearch&model_id=52637&pid=500&kwd=Compaq%20Presario%20V2000%20Ad%202&gclid=CNv0rK-f35QCFQOIFQodt3z7SA

Not saying to buy from there but gives you the general idea.

Please repost if this helps you....

The Bios on the laptop motherboard only will recognize a total of 1gig Ram. So the 256 stick would be removed and 2- 512 sticks installed.
