I have:
- Gateway W350a
-3gb of RAM(1+2)
- built in ATI 1270
I ordered x2 2GB of RAM a couple of weeks ago but that order has flopped: seller has not shipped the items, only replies with automated messages, yesterday was the deadline for shipping the preorder items and there is still no indication of whether he got them and they are heading my way. I've called CS to leave a not on my account to make sure that the order is dead, if I do get it from him that I'll be rejecting it, and that I should not incur any penalties. I'm thinking of getting a mini pci-e hd decoder instead as I could divert the RAM funds and it would also cost less. The videos I've seen of old laptops using such decoders show smooth video playback but they are all at least 5 years old. I think I've read somewhere too that the hd recorders no longer work or aren't as good anymore as YT has changed codecs so does anyone here have more and current experience with such decoders?
Browsing is tolerably slow on my laptop but the video on YT is choppy and that's what I aim to fix. Downloaded 720p movies are ok but the lag returns when playing 1080p. Will hd decoders also improve on 1080p downloaded video playback?
