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.

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

Hi,

According to HP's support, your model, described in the link below, only
supports a maximum of 2GB of physical memory:

This has nothing to do with the operating system that is installed, it's
a
limitation of the hardware.

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
