Memory extension
Hi,
I was misleading due to other sites of HP where it was mentioned that the maximum size was depending on the use of SW so with a 64 bit for sure up to 4GB. I beleive you but how is it to explain that when adding 3GB everything is working fine and the 3GB is seen in the Bios and in W7 / Systeem Regards Huib "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, According to HP's support, your model, described in the link below, only supports a maximum of 2GB of physical memory: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...365319&lang=en This has nothing to do with the operating system that is installed, it's a limitation of the hardware. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Huib" wrote in message ... Hi, I have a laptop HP DV9285ea where i replaced the Vista by Windows7 64 bit. Replacing the 2 Rams each 1 GB by 2GB (total 4GB) resulted in an error. The laptop is a 64bit processor and with W7 64bit there should not be any problem to extent the memory. Placing in one slot 2GB and the other 1GB was working properly. (3GB total) The current Bios has version F16 while their is new version available F2D. Can the FW having any impact? The product specification gives the following: Extension / connection Total extra slots (free) â?¢ 2 ( 0 ) x memory - SO DIMM 200-pins â?¢ 1 ( 1 ) x ExpressCard/54, 2 ( 0 ) x memory â?¢ 1 ( 1 ) x ExpressCard/54 I have no idea what this means. Did i a mistake by just replacing the existing Ram , should their be an extra slot?? I would appreciate any comments. Regards Huib . |

Hi,
The actual motherboard manufacturer may have designed it for 4GB (quite common now), but HP's modifications have limited it. What you're seeing may be a quirk of thier modifications. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Huib" wrote in message ...

Good guess, apparently HP was rightfully very concerned by the heat
generated by more then 2GB in the laptop and did not realize they had a bug when memory sizes were mixed. "Rick Rogers" wrote in message ...
