Hi Guys,
I have a Dell Studio 1555 Laptop that I bought a few years ago and it has served me well. I use it for my school work, 3D modelling with Blender, Photoshop, Illustrator, as well some light gaming (League Of Legends, Civilization 5, Anno 2070, the Mass Effect Trilogy, etc.).
The thing is, It's getting slightly slow, so I was wondering if it is worth spending £50/£60 to upgrade the RAM from the 3GB it currently has to 8GB.
Also, would it be worth upgrading the 320GB HDD I currently have to an SSD? Would any 2.5" SSD (like the one I have in my PS3 for example) be compatible with my laptop?
My Laptop has the following specs
Name : Dell Studio 155
OS : Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20GHz
GPU : ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 512MB (I think)
Memory : 3072 MB
HDD : Samsung 320GB HDD (stock)
I'm not expecting FPS increases in my games due to my outdated GPU, but would I actually see any improvements if I upgraded my RAM and put an SSD in?
Thanks for your help.
