I'm considering buying a Compaq Presario v6101 and then maxing out the RAM (2GB), for my 2 young kids to use. They will only use it to play games, downloaded and internet games. They will not like a slow system. We have high speed wireless internet. Do you think this will be a decent option?

Ok I take it you still have an internet connection, If you do open your device manager and you should see some yellow question marks by some devices, Now select the ones with the marks by them and make sure you are on line and right click and select update drivers, that should get you up and running if it does not write back here and tell me what is missing and I will find them and get them to you, But I am pretty confident that doing the update it should reload and find what you need... Thanks

The T40 has two ram slots, you can put a 1g chip in each totaling 2g. If the chip will remove, then it is changeable. Vista needs a minimum of 256 to run, so, when you change BOTH chips to equal 2g it will probably read 1.744g, or it may read the full 2g. If it only reads 1g, then the second slot under keyboard may have malfunctioned. It could also be that the 256 chip is bad and your really only running 512 now. With all that said, in order to achieve 2g, you will need to put a 1g chip in each slot.
