Upgrading the RAM on the Packard Bell BG45-U-300

Matt Martin — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:45:15 +0000

In this video I show you how to upgrade the ram on the Packard Bell BG45-U-300 it comes standard with 1GB of ram but that’s not enough for a happy (if there is such a thing) VISTA experience.

To make things easier I recommend having a philips (cross threaded) and a flat screw driver to hand.

Any questions just ask…
