Dec 12, 2009If you were to upgrade your laptop with dual channel memory, what combination would you use to upgrade to 6GB? Currently, I have a dv8 with 4GB (2x2GB). Would you have a combination of 2GB and 4GB? Wouldn't the ram pieces have to be of the same value and from the same manufacture?

Nov 29, 2009I just bought a new HP laptop and it has 3gb ddr2 memory. It says that the max memory is 4gb, but I was wondering if you can put in say 6gb or 8gb? Reason I ask is because I saw a sony laptop that was essentially the same with the memory being the exception. On the Sony, it came with 4gb and was expandable to 8gb. Oh, and my laptop is running Windows 7 64bit if that matters. If its not possible, Ill just upgrade to 4gb... If you guys could though, maybe tell me what limits a pc's ability to run a certain amount of memory? Mine has 2 slots for memory and I have seen some 4gb sticks for sale, but Im not going to spend the money on something that wont work.

Acer :: Upgrading Memory In Ferrari 5005
Feb 9, 2009At the moment i have 2GB of RAM running on the Turion 64 Dual Processor with Windows Vista Business (in the Control Panel > System it says the OS is 32-bit).
I have heard that with a 32-bit OS you can't go above 2GB in laptops. Is that right? It seems a little too broad of an accusation.
Will it acknowledge the extra 2GB i put in it?

On a seperate point, I wouldn't mind upgrading the memory too

Sony :: Upgrading SZ LCD Screen
Mar 20, 2009I have a SZ120P with the standard LCD screen which because of a recent fall cracked.
I got a good deal on a premium lcd housing and LED LCD so I thought I could use that to replace the screen.
I used the service manual to remove the old LCD screen and housing, and replace it with the new LED thin LCD and housing, but when I powered on, the LCD had no back lighting

Sony :: Upgrading The Drivers

Sony :: Upgrading HD On Vaio Z
Aug 13, 2009I made the mistake of falling for a CTO Z590 and not getting the specs I wanted, which included a 320GB 7200rpm HD instead of the slower 5400.
So, specs online indicated that a Scorpio Black was the right drive.
I've gotten it and have seen the steps on how to mechanically replace it.
My question, however, is advice on how I should go to transfer my data and switch OS.
I currently have Vista Business, 32-bit installed. I would like to go to Windows 7, 64-bit and then bring over my data. Going to 64-bit requires a full install.
Since I am going to switch over to the new drive as my internal drive, is it possible to swap the drives, install the new windows OS on a partition on the new HD, put the old drive into the external HD, and then transfer at my leisure files from the old HD on the new internal HD?
I'm a bit paranoid that once I disconnect the current HD, my data is at risk. Is this silly, or can I upgrade the way I just described?
Also, what are the benefits of partitioning my new drive for the OS as opposed to having everything on one partition?
Finally, the Windows 7 I have is still a Beta version and I have heard that if I install this version, come September of next year, I will have to do a full new install of a production version. Is this true? If so, what W7 64-bit version is available now? I don't mind paying.
I've been putting this off for a long time (have had the new drive sitting uselessly for over 2 months). I'm deployed to Iraq, so have no way to backup my data other than burning some DVDs and if I break something, no repair facilities.

Sony :: Upgrading My FW-139e Laptop
Jul 29, 2009I got this laptop of mine about a year ago, working fine, sure, but I had a few questions regarding this and that.
First off, can anybody let me know what I can upgrade on my computer, what I should, and what I MUST (if it's not that MUST!, more like ...must, count it as should) upgrade? My laptop's current hardware is below. Oh, what do you guys think about a hard disk upgrade to a 250gb Western Digital 7200 RPM m!$#$^f#$^er?
Secondly, does any other fw user (or sony user in general) have problems with their dvd drive? Mine has this... "wow" issue, where it reads and writes dvds just fine but doesn't detect cds AT ALL. It's had this problem since day 1. So for almost a year, I'm wtfing the laptop every time i put in a cd.

RAM: 3 GB (DDR2)

Sony :: VAIO SR Upgrading Hard Drive

I'm sure this voids warranty, but in the event that you need to send the laptop to Sony, couldn't you just put the original back in and they wouldn't notice?
