Although the maximum memory is 256 MB I have a feeling that this needs to be shared between the slots. <BR /><BR />To achieve this you will need two 128 MB modules, or alternatively a single 128 MB module in combination with your existing 64 MB module to achieve 192 MB.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Aug 2006 17:14:57 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50225#M91819 rich912 2006-08-08T17:14:57Z Re: memory upgrade on PCGF701 https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50226#M91820 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks Rich,<BR /><BR />I was not aware of that...:smileyblush:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Aug 2006 18:08:13 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50226#M91820 Thalamus. 2006-08-08T18:08:13Z Re: memory upgrade on PCGF701 https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50227#M91821 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I think/hope that I am correct on this Thalamus but it is certainly the case with one of my old Vaio's that pre-dates the F701:smileygrin:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Aug 2006 18:34:22 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50227#M91821 rich912 2006-08-08T18:34:22Z Re: memory upgrade on PCGF701 https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50228#M91822 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Right as usual Rich - I did wonder when Crucial recommended a max module of 128MB.<BR /><BR />Have a look <A href="http://www.memory-up.com/memory_root/Sony-VAIO%20PCG-F-FG-Memory-Upgrade.html" target="_blank">HERE</A><BR /><BR /><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.lt/html/@A0D70DEBA7A9CF34991C499438B73C99/images/smilies/081.png" alt=":clap:" title=":clap:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Aug 2006 19:54:04 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50228#M91822 Blencogo 2006-08-08T19:54:04Z Re: memory upgrade on PCGF701 https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50229#M91823 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you guys for your time and trouble, im back to the shop to change the mem stick to a 128mb pc100. wish me luck.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 09 Aug 2006 12:07:33 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50229#M91823 CaptainFlint 2006-08-09T12:07:33Z Re: memory upgrade on PCGF701 https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50230#M91824 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You're welcome, CaptainFlint..<BR /><BR />Let us know how you get on..:smileyhappy:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 09 Aug 2006 21:15:39 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-upgrade-on-pcgf701/m-p/50230#M91824 Thalamus. 2006-08-09T21:15:39Z
