Thread: hardware upgrade worth it?

-

so have gateway m305crv rev 1 dual-booting jaunty , backtrack 4, , i'm wondering if it's worth upgrading. not computer (i have 07-ish mbp @ least 9000 times faster), 1 runs linux full-time due lack of hdd space on other laptop.

anyway, thing old. pentium 4 @ 2.20ghz, isn't bad actually, has 216mb ram, horrible. did poking around , found can upgrade 1gig around $40. major performance increase? clear off space on notebook , dual boot don't think wireless card backtrack 4, end spending money on usb wifi card anyway guess. so,

ram upgrade 216 1gig make huge difference in machine old?

also, thoughts on throwing small-ish ssd in here in place of dying 40gig that's installed right now? use system playing around pentesting, tons of storage space isn't necessary. wondering if performance increase worth $$$

/edit http://support.gateway.com/s/mobile/...1715sp58.shtml <--here's technical specs

i you're saying, since macbook pro's wireless card can't injection, spend same $40 on separate usb wifi adapter anyway. i'm wondering if ram upgrade noticeably improve performance. assume going 216 megs 1 gig vastly improve things, i'm not sure if there other bottlenecks in particular system worry about.

/edit dude deleted post. idk. plz help.
