How To Buy Minecraft With Itunes?

I going to buy more ram, for my laptop will that ease my cpu at all?

  • Windows 7 64 bit 2gb ram(1.60 usable) cpu:1ghz dual processor AMD C-50 (it sucks i know) Bought it like a month ago and i have played around with it, but if i use windows media player and google chrome the music stutters and I use about 40-60% of physical Memory just doing basic things and CPU gets above 50&. Is that normal CPU usage? I also use heavy programs like minecraft, itunes ect and thats always 80-100% CPU and my Physical Memory is at 60-70%(It gets slow at this point even just opening my computer or something simple while on the programs- as an example). And its slow of opening programs plus it could get glitchy and slow in those programs I dont know if i should buy more ram or new processor. what would be more helpful to speed up my laptop or get more out of my money? Thank you.

You might get the system to go a bit smoother if you have more RAM, sure. However, I'd say that your primary problem would be the processor, and possibly a slow hard drive. I wouldn't even think of replacing the CPU in your current laptop - it's not necessarily even possible, and even if it was it would likely be way too expensive. Buy some more RAM. Use Crucial's memory finder to make sure you buy RAM that's compatible with your computer - you can find the memory finder at http://www.crucial.com

make sure that the memory speed is the same with the existing or replace both with the same speed..

it won't hurt, and for some situations it could help, but really, that is one of the lowest power cpu's in recent times. it's made to take up very little power. sadly, laptop cpu's aren't user replaceable.

Does your laptop have a 5400 or a 7200 RPM..HDD..? I don't really think a LapTop is a powerful computer--compared to a DeskTop.. If your computer will accept more RAM..add it.. You can always remove the extra RAM.

not by a noticeable amount. More ram will speed things up becaue your computer can have more information in memory and needs to use the HDD less often, it also means you can have more windows open at the same time. A bigger graphics card might might take some pressure off your CPU but since it's a laptop I strongly recommend you don't take your laptop apart unles you really know what you're doing. It's not like upgrading a PC.
