    anyone know if its possible to upgrade the above. its real basic at the moment.

    I pretty sure the ram can be upgraded to a max of 256k but i'm not sure about the processor.

    You didn't mention which model of the Armada 7800 you have...go here for downloads for the Armada Notebooks . Select your model number...

    Also, go here for manuals for the 7800 Series .

    Also, go here for the Quick Reference Guide (parts breakdown) . Scroll down to the last page...it has your Memory Upgrade Chart.

    Hopefully, you'll be able to find what you're looking for...Good Luck!

    I work as a tech for Compaq, er HP, er, what ever we are now. I honestly do not believe that upgrading the CPU on an Armada 7800 is really worth it. The fastest they were released at is a 400MHz P2. At the time, the mobile P2's were still running on a 66MHz FSB even though the desktop counter parts at 350MHz and higher were on 100MHz FSB. I do believe you are correct on the amount of ram supported. The max is about 256MB.

    Personally, unless it really isn't an option, I would save the money and invest in a new laptop.
    My brain went into standby mode and I can't get it to wake up, is there a BIOS patch for this?
