The thing is that there is not problem with the memory or speed. I am not satisfied with one of two thing. I'm not sure if it's the computer or the company I bought it from.
First computer I bought was from Best buy, it was an HP desktop. Brand new, never opened and when we got it home there was no cd-writer in it. The drive is not physically there. When we took it back, even with the warranty they wanted us to pay $60 to diagnose it. I didn't buy the warranty to pay for a diagnose.
Second computer, same place, HP laptop. Brand new as well. Never dropped and after 3 months the power cord didn't work. Ever time I plugged it it, it would say it was charging but 10 seconds later it would change to battery. The only way to get it to go back to charging or adapter was to take it out of the back of the laptop and re-insert it. Eventually it just stopped charging. The only way to charge it was to watch it, and do the same thing while the computer was off. They first told me it was a cord and battery problem but I disagree, I know it is a hardware problem because they guy in the geek squad tried someone elses cord and it had the same results.
I also have 2 Compaq Presario 900 laptops and both of them were semi-broken after a year. One of them the disk drive doesn't work and the other one mysteriously turns off. One of them was bough at Fry's Electronics and the other at Circuit City.
It seems that I have all half-working computers and I want a reliable computer. I'm tired of having to move all of homework from computer to computer. I take 18 units a semester, all online and this isn't something I want to have to do anymore. It's not even worth buying the warrantee.
Both Compaq and HP are the same company. So thats why I was thinking something from another company. I don't think upgrading my current computers is going to make me any happier.
