hey guys
I've got my laptop right, and as standard it comes pre-installed with 2GB.
I purchased 4GB and attempted to put it into my laptop - but it doesn't boot. On the POST it just counts up some sort of amount of memory and just freezes.
I search on my laptops chipset, and there are places which say it can handle 4GB of ram (which is why I purchased it).
Would it be to do with the fact that I have a 32-bit vista installed? I wouldnt think so because its well before it 'interacts' with the O/S and I thought that it would just show up 3GB anyway (as the 32bit cant address the 4GB etc)
does anyone have any ideas? thanks
