    Okay, I'm fairly newb at this, I never actually done much with my computer except for playing games on it and replacing a dead harddrive once.

    I think I need some upgrade now, its a 5 years computer and its WAY WAY slow compared to my new HP computer that I got for only for 1k (compared to 5k alienware, yes I just realize that my alienware is pathetic geezer now -.-).

    My computer model is D9T, product code: D900T, Clevo Co motherboard serial 400, version: revision A (not sure if you need this)

    I need to know what type of memory card (specific brand, model types, shape?) that I can purchase to fit in the sockets for my current ones. So far my original parts are 2x memory module at capacity of 512 MB, data width 64bits, speed 66mHz and socket designation J6G1 and J6H1.

    On one of the forum I read that my D900T can be upgraded to 4GB memory, if this is possible, can you tell me what specific types of memory card I can purchase? Brand, model type and specific design that can fit in to my current socket?

    I also need a wireless card replacement, so far my computer is on hardwire since day one. Does anyone know what type of wireless card can replace my current one? Brand, model types? Its best if you can provide me a spec of replaceable parts :D I'm going to HK in about 2 weeks, so I think I can pick up so fairly cheap parts xD to upgrade my computer.

    Currently my computer only has about 160GB of harddrive (my cheap HP has 200GB of harddrive -.- things are so much cheaper these days) anyways, can my computer be upgrade to 320GB? If it is possible, can you provide me the spec that I need for the harddrives. Last time I use western digital 80GB to replace the master drive, so if I was to upgrade to 320GB (or higher if possible) do I need to replace both master and the slave drive?

    Any good response what specs of what I need is appreciated xD

    Thanks!!
