So, Sony site is correct, only 1GB now, but the laptop supports 2GB.<BR /><BR />The VGN-S4M/S may be has 2x256MB=512MB (two banks used), I'm not sure about it, but you could use CPU-Z to test it:<BR /><BR /><A href="http://www.majorgeeks.com/download425.html" target="_blank">http://www.majorgeeks.com/download425.html</A><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Jul 2005 07:43:36 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/does-the-vgn-s4m-s-support-more-than-1-gb-ram/m-p/62887#M107663 diecerll 2005-07-20T07:43:36Z Re: Does the VGN-S4M/S support more than 1 GB RAM? https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/does-the-vgn-s4m-s-support-more-than-1-gb-ram/m-p/62888#M107664 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You don have to buy them from Sony, you can just go into pcworld or wherever and buy them from there.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Jul 2005 10:50:12 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/does-the-vgn-s4m-s-support-more-than-1-gb-ram/m-p/62888#M107664 febs 2005-07-20T10:50:12Z Re: Does the VGN-S4M/S support more than 1 GB RAM? https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/does-the-vgn-s4m-s-support-more-than-1-gb-ram/m-p/62889#M107665 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yeah, I'm gonna buy the memory from crucial... so it'll work if I get the full 2 GB?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Jul 2005 13:37:43 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/does-the-vgn-s4m-s-support-more-than-1-gb-ram/m-p/62889#M107665 Ultima2876 2005-07-20T13:37:43Z Re: Does the VGN-S4M/S support more than 1 GB RAM? https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/does-the-vgn-s4m-s-support-more-than-1-gb-ram/m-p/62890#M107666 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It might be worth sending crucial an e-mail.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Jul 2005 14:36:23 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/does-the-vgn-s4m-s-support-more-than-1-gb-ram/m-p/62890#M107666 febs 2005-07-20T14:36:23Z
