HP G56 Laptop Advice, suggestions

[manxnorton]

A very good morning all.
A lul in battle my end lol (maybe get the RAM delivered tomorrow)
And see.
Took me nearly 4 hours to slowly edit a 5 minute video on my editing software.
Painly slow LOL.
Ok taking stock on my two threads, pc fix is ongoing. Second laptop we’ll see maybe tomorrow weather i it’s a fail or not.
But just want to thank you all, as I’m leaning so much.
As I mentioned when thing go wrong it’s when I learn.
One thing I was trying to get the words out to not confuse people (due to my brain condition) is:
Ok both laptops are OLD.
But why is it suggested a same RAM IN BOTH DDR3 & NOW DDR2)
An increase in size (GB) and the MHz.
Show in the first laptop no matter what I do it keeps coming into a repair loop.
Hope yous are still me lol.
The minute I put the old slow ram in, boots perfect.
Hmmmm!
Does this mean that due to age 2 x 1GB DDR3 will only work.
We know the probs for the latest laptop.
DDR2 and it’s different size compared to DDR3.
Obv I’m not conversed of BIOs, booting up sequence etc.
Is it maybe the way I have to boot up the old laptop (F2 etc)
Sorry teo laptops in one thread I know, and a novel from a bloke that struggles to tied his shoes, let alone string a sentence together to mske sence!
Hay hoo.
May some one can decypher what I mean.
It’s like I need a Klingon to help lol.
As always keep safe, and look after each other.

Good morning, hope all is well?
What little brain power i have left, it hit me!
Brian what is the overall objection of upgrading and old laptop?
And it came down to one thing VIDEO EDITING, plain and simple.
What am im working with (video editing)-Working with high resolution footage is both power- and memory-intensive.
And the more i look at the prices of a high end laptop like Dell XPS 15 OLED, seems A ‘wim’ or an expensive toy until my pc gets fixed.
At least 16GB & SSD, not forgetting graphics card & CPU etc.
I’m not under any illusion that what I’m trying atm, try a 4GB DDR3…if it fired up, I still need to get another 4GB.
To run Win 10 & Edditing software with only 8GB ram. hmmmm!
Probably wake up and smell the coffee and rose lol.
we’ll see hope in a few hours time.

Guys!
I could of just told you all either it worked or not.
Two things I mentioned.

1. This thread is becoming ‘milked’ lol
2. I struggle with online buying!
   Number two has cought me out AGAIN.
   Was wondering why the delivery was taking so long!
   Yeahh you’ve guessed it!
   I ordered the RAM from outer rings of Saturn! (China) estimated 20 of June)
   Omg I’ll be back from Scotland with my repaired pc by then.
   So guys, might aswell close the thread.
   I’ll update you if needed.
   I thank you all for sticking by my crazy world of BRIAN.
   Hope you all keep safe, and look after each other.
