>>i like the 4gb ready boost idea, is there any threads or sites you could give me so i can read up on it and maybe buy one.(what prices am i looking at here)
Try:

https://www.newegg.com
4GB Class 6 SDHC should be about $10-20.00.
4GB ReadyBoost Capable Thumb Drive should be about the same.
>>so what your saying this usb device is almost like ram when connected i can assgin an extra 4gb ram to my laptop giving me in laymen terms 7GB ram which should render it all together or have i got the wrong end of the stick. if im right can i use it all the time or just when i need it i.e rendering,editing in sony pro vegas.
Yes. It is RAM: just a different type.
Just put it in, enable it for ReadyBoost, and leave it in.
I leave a 4GB SDHC card in, because it sits flush. You can take it out and the system will not crash: it just does not run quite as fast.
If you opt for the thumb drive, Kodak makes some half-size ones that fit nice and tight to the system, and do not flop around.
I would think that the main thing would be to boost to 4GB RAM, 4GB ReadyBoost RAM, and then give a 6GB static swap file (6GB initial, 6GB maximum).
I sure hope that helps you get HD.
