Hello.
I just did some hardware updates on my old xi1547 and am wondering if I can upgrade the DRAM to 4GB.
I've replaced the disk with a 500GB WD Scorpio Black, the burned out x1800 graphics card with a 1GB ATI HD 4670, and the BIOS with Alienware's 1.19W.
So far so good. Everything works just fine.
I would like now to upgrade the RAM to 4GB.
Can I do that (the Alienware BIOS supports it) or is there some sort of restriction in the xi1547 hardware?
I seem to remember reading somewhere that with the above configuration (Alienware BIOS and a loaded ATI card), the xi1547 can't support more than 3GB.
Is there such a limit imposed by the system's electronics? Has anybody ever tried something similar with the xi1546/1547?
Thank you.
