old laptop ram

[lilwing89]

i have an old dell latitude c510/c610, and it has 128 mb of ram. its enough to get by, except i want to play diablo ii more on it. single player has really bad lag. since i live out in the country i either have to get it at walmart or order it online...

where can i get some? is it at walmart?

How do you know the lag is not caused by a lack of video memory?

Also, a game that doesn't require much power such as Diablo 2 would easily get by with 512 MB of RAM. However, you have a laptop, which changes things. I suggest the following:

If you're a little bit more experienced (from the looks of it, I would just ignore this) you can look for specific things here:

XPbargains.com has some pretty good offers, but I prefer Newegg.

i know the lag is not caused by video memory because my computer gets very slow when i have more than 1 program open, and because i only have 128 mb of ram i am also going to assume that its the ram.

i dont have problems running n64 roms or quake iii arena or diablo 1 or any of my other games...

and no, im not as experienced with ram as i am with webdesigning and programming. i do know quite a bit, however.

just for shits and giggles, how do i check video memory?

Well, find out what video card you're using and look it up.

Also, you program? What language?
