While extra RAM is a good way to speed up a PC, it can be more expensive than
it's worth, especially if it's for a notebook. However if you ask nice enough
there is always a good chance that someone on the LUG has some to spare for
free or very cheap.
So far I've begged for RAM and received it for free on several occasions and
I'm always happy to give spare RAM I have away.
