Sony :: RAM Limit/upgrade SZ 38GP
Jun 29, 2009
I just bought SZ38GP, English XP Pro but I think it is Asian model, similar to European 5 series, the CPU is T7200, and GPU the 7xxx. SZ are perfect for my DJ work, and secondary notebook, I was using the SZ1 till now and wanted to get the best there is from this series, possibly fastest CPU but no 8xxx Nvidia. It came with single 1G RAM, I could put another 1G from my old SZ but would rather have 3G total= add single 2G chip. I remember that SZ1 had 2G RAM limit but cannot find out about the SZ38GP C. Will I be able to use 3G with it ?

I use the SZ as secondary computer, mostly with Intel card so realised only today that I have wrong Nvidia driver/software and am not able to install correct one. It is Asian SZ , XP Pro English but for whatever reason the Nvidia Settings are in German and does not look like I can change it. Downloaded the original driver fro Sony Asia site- for the SZ38GP, tried installing it twice already but I am getting the same German thing, could be Swahili or Mandarin as well though understand German but not of that tachnical kind, plus it cant be right if OS is English
Tried also a newest Nvidia driver, that worked in English but the brightness buttons didnt and I find those essential.

Still owning an old Sony SZ1XP laptop and was wondering if anyone have ever replaced the stock HD with a newer 7200 RPM HD
Main question i would like to ask if i am limited to a certain size of 7200 RPM HD
For example: in this site [url]
It says the following "up to a 120GB 5400RPM hard drive"
Does this mean i can only fit a harddrive of max. 120gb in the laptop?
otherwise that it is possible to put a bigger sized hd

I just installed my 4 gb of RAM in my Inspiron 9400, fully aware and knowing in advance that I won't be able to use more than 3.25 of it with my Vista Ultimate 64-bit OS...
My question is: WHY? Is it because the Bios can't address the memory in 64-bit? Just for curiosity, is there a way to make the OS bypass the BIOS (If it's the cause) and fully use the 4 GB?

I have a e1705 Geforce go 7900gs oc'd to 450/600. Also I have the power supply that is included with the laptop 90watts. I have seen people here in forums that o'cd there card up to 600 core or more. I flashed my rom using the 375/507 to unlock my bios and then i use rivatuner to overclock my video card coz I want to know the limit of my card. And it reached 455/600 so i underclock it to 450 just for safe distance.
Now, I am using ntune to o'c my card and there is no testing whether it will work with the core I specified so I assume again that its 450/600.
My questions will be,
1. What is the max core/mem overclock that is safe for my 90 watts power supply w/o increasing the voltage to 1.24volts?
2. I create a profile in ntune that I enable the overclock (450/600) everytime I will play 3d games and I get it back (370/507) . Is that ok? Will it harm my videocard?
I got a rev 1 card. I am using a windows vista w/ dell performance driver, 2gb ram and 1.73ghz core duo cpu. Weird I got 152 increase in score in 2005 3dmark when using vista to xp . My score is 7196. And also I don't want to use nibitor to o'cd my card .

The instruction booklet says there is a 2GB limit, and that I can only use two 1GBs. That sucks because it comes with two 512MBs. Is this true, or could I go buy a 2GB DDR2 and replace one of the 512MBs? It's a Acer Aspire 5315-2153.

I have an Acer Ferrari 3400 and i just replaced my hard drive with a 160 GB drive, however the computer only sees about 131 GB. I've read abit about the 137 GB limit and wanted to know if the motherboard/BIOS for this model supports 48 bit LBA so that i can see the remaining space on the hard drive. I have windows XP pro service pack II installed, but i don't know how to activate 48 bit addressing or if my BIOS suppoerts it.

I've recently posted a question here Total Memory in task manager incorrect after upgrade to 4gb Aspire 5735 where I received some great help. However I've done a bit more research and I'm starting to fear my notebook may be limited to 3gb by the bios/chipset for some reason. I have just upgraded it from 3gb to 4gb. The bios shows 4gb as the installed amount but memtest in dos mode only shows 3000mb total as does windows task manager.
So it appears the notebook detects the 4gb installed ram but only allocated 3gb.
My question is does anyone know if acer has limited this notebook to 3gb total and if there are any suggestions on getting around this limit?

I set up mail with my Gmail account but I don't want it to download all my messages. Is there a way to set a limit to how many messages get stored in the computer? I have way too many messages and don't want to waste hard disk space.

In my Win 7 X220 and Win 8 Yoga11s, both had Lenovo programs (Power Manager and Lenovo Energy Management respectively) that allowed me to maximize battery health by setting a charging threshold. In the TPY, is there any Lenovo programs that does that too?

With all the hand wringing folks have been doing about the lack of drivers for a clean install of Win7 I thought I'd jump in to the deep end of the pool with my FZ190 and investigate an alternative. My good friends Rajesh and Dr. Pratik have done clean installs of Win7 on FZ models, but I decided to take a different approach... the "dreaded" OS in place upgrade. Partly out of curiosity, I wanted to see if it would work, but mainly because I have a ton of software that would need to be reinstalled, if I did a clean install. That would mean days or weeks of inventorying every thing I have installed, digging up installation media and then installing all the stuff. I just don't have the spare time. So...
This past weekend I imaged my C: drive (all my data and I mean ALL my data is on D:, I am a fanatic about that). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR C: DRIVE BEFORE YOU TRY AN UPGRADE! I ran the Windows 7 Update adviser and it said I had some issues:

I am looking at purchasing a Sony FW, but was wondering if the gpu is upgradable to something like the new nVidia GTX 280 M, or even the new ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850?
Also, I have searched on the internet to buy a mobile gpu, but google yielded no results.
Do I have to contact ATI/nVidia directly to obtain the certain gpu I want?

in the thread win 7 on z i expain what im trying to do and why to make a long story short when i do a clean install and go to windows updates fist thing there are 4 updates 1) defenders 2) video card about 50mb 3) sd card about 78kb 4) sony pi 78kb . but when you install they dont do nothing and the video card update really messes things up . so my thought was they are for when you upgrade form vista . but in all the years of having computers i have never upgraded allways cleaninstalls . so the help i need is do i start the upgrade from within vista or do i start like a clean install and choose option upgrade ? which is best? i have a disk which lets you choose which version you would like home/premeir/ buss/or ultimate . i really dont think sony would have put out these updates without trying them so thats what makes me think there for a up grade not clean install . becase 2 of the dont help and the third messes the video all up

I want my laptop to last me another year or two if possible. I was cleaning it the other day when I broke off a key, ugg....anyway I found a replacement keyboard for $35, which I will be fixing.
Ok, being I have seen I can also change the hard drive. I am confused though, do I need an Ultra ATA-6, a SATA, IDE, EIDE, I just can't seem to figure out which one I need. I want to get at least 160 Gig HD for it. I see one for $35 here
[url]
would this work?
Also am I right in that I can also change the CPU if I get a Centrino 2.1Ghz, 400mhz as long as I use the Artic Gel stuff? If I do these 3 things I think the laptop would be great for another year. I am out of the country without much money hehe, so for me buying a new one is not an option, besides I cannot get a real normal QWERTY keyboard here....so that would frustrate the crap out of me. I am too old to learn a new keyboard!
I already am upgrading the memory from 512 to 1024, I got the chips on ebay for $11. Wish it would support more, but that is the max for this laptop.

I have almost 3 year old Sony SZ-330 P/B, it originally had 2GB ram.
Is it possible to upgrade this ram to 4GB?
Here's original spec on the ram,
Type: DDR2SDRAM
Installed: 2GB (1GBx2) PC2-4200
Maximum: 2GB
Speed: 533MHz
Because the spec said "maximum: 2GB" I'm wondering if I can upgrade.
