Upgraded to 4GB and 12 Cell Battery- HP DV2000
My HP DV2000 Pavilion Laptop was running on 1GB RAM and it was pretty slow when I used to run 5-6 applications simultaneously (memory consuming applications). I was using triple boot on this machine (Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 RC) and the performance was still good, but it would slow down if I keep the application open for long time. On top of this the battery had worn out and it didn’t charge any more, so it was very difficult to use the Laptop while travelling. I was using my XPERIA while travelling. So two of the upgrades were on my priority list. Once I purchased the Netbook, next thing I did was to upgrade RAM and get a new battery.
Now the Laptop has got a fresh life with 4GB of RAM and a massive 12 Cell Battery. The 12 Cell battery is in fact 2 six cell batteries back to back and as a result it projects out of the Laptop. Here are few images of the 12 Cell Battery.
just coincidence, i just did the same with my laptop
upgraded from 2gb to 4gb. had to throw away the initial 2GB(1GBX2).
For battery i just stuck with the 6cell battery, i had seen how the 9cell ones used to stick out on the dell
Atom based laptops don’t have an optical drive right? I was planning to go for one – may be an Acer one.
