More than 1gig of ram?

[Webster]

Hi,

Why do many of the Vaio laptops only take a maximum of 1gb ram, does anybody know? I can appreciate this being the case for the older models but I would have thought that the later models, like my FS215z for example, would be able to accept up to 2gb. I was just wondering if there is some reason for this.

Well I got a reply from Crucial (very quick) and it would seem that the FS series can indeed only handle 1gb of ram (2 x 512):smileysad: That said, with a gig of ram it does perform very well, it handles Dreamweaver & Photoshop CS2 with no problems and is certainly quicker than my friends P4 (3.06mhz)/ 1gb ram machine, but I still don't understand why Sony seem to 'hold back' the upgradability on some of the vaio range.

Ye it seems a bit odd to do so.They probably think that there machines are so good that you would not want to upgrade it

Still 1GB is pretty good

Ye im running 1gb on my A417S and it is an amazing machine.

Quite right, and to be honest the FS215z with 1 GB is more than adequate, in fact it¿s very fast - I love it. I can only imagine that febs A417S must be blisteringly quick.:smileycool:

Hehe if you think Febs is fast you should see Eugene's - he's got 2GB RAM!

The only reason I can think is that Sony hasn`t memory modules over 512Mb, so 2x512=1024 max.

Lol ye it is fast and the processor is sweeeeet to.i love my A i want its babies:smileytongue: .
