If you have android download foxfi from playstore as it tricks your provider so that you dont get charged a bill for using hotspot. Another alternative for android is to root it and flash up some after market love and use the built in hotspot. If you have an iPhone or anything other than...

Oh okay thanks thats good to know! On my VM it said that no OS was on my computer (obviously since it was a VM :P) so it didnt give me that option all it had was to try or to install it.

Sorry for my noobness lol but how would i partition the drive? I have dual booted into a bootable CD before to sbf my android but thats about it. All i have ever really done other than that is just run Ubuntu 14.x 32bit on a VM which was extremely slow..

Well, if i was to put in 4gb of RAM then my vista 32bit would just read 3.25gb but still work fine. So if i was to just dual boot into Ubuntu 14.x 64bit i could use all 4gb of my RAM and be able to use Ubuntu without losing my things. Correct?

including pictures music etc then..?

Lovely. Lol okay, so if i was to just straight up install Ubuntu 64bit after putting in 4gb RAM what all would i lose? I understand it would replace my OS but what else would get deleted?

Thanks, but my main need for the RAM would be to run Ubuntu 14.x in my VM. So would it not even recognize me having 4gb of usable RAM if i used a VM then?

Let me start with im on a budget. I need the mobility of a laptop so thats why im not bothering with a desktop and i dont have the money to buy an $800 asus so my best bet for the time being is to add some RAM into my old Inspiron 1720. According to Crucial the max RAM is 4gb...

Okay i will keep that in mind and trust me, i would much rather build a desktop but i need the mobility of a laptop. Thanks

I just dont see why I couldnt take off everything carefully and swap out the RAM and HDD and maybe just overclock the CPU if I needed too...

Sorry for being such a noob at this but why cant i simply buy a used one off of say amazon or ebay that only has the shell and motherboard or that has low end parts (such as 2gb RAM and 80gb HDD) and just remove the RAM and HDD and replace with upgraded ones? And sorry again if this makes me...

If i could i would prefer to build a desktop but my dads job has us move around alot and a desktop isn't practical for me and i need mobility. :/ I wish laptops were as easy as desktop builds...

Like I said earlier also, I am new to the whole building laptops but i am very willing to learn. I can buy parts piece by piece as i can afford it im in no rush but my main things is i want 8gb RAM and a 500GB HDD and i want to be running at or above 2.0Ghz. You can get a 500GB HDD for aprox $50...
