It was getting interesting, and the topic creator got exactly to the question I had... And then the thread got locked. :( I guess I just never have understood why an artificial RAM limitation exists on a motherboard; if a SODIMM of the correct size exists, it just is kind of baffling that the comput...

I've been poppling around this forum, and others like it, and I keep noticing something- Whenever RAM limitations are mentioned, people simply shrug that XXXGB is all that this motherboard or that motherboard will "recognize". So I understand the limitations of a 32-bit processor- they can't physica...

You are awesome!

Thanks for the tip. I'll stay away from these guys then.

Good morning all. I had some extra cash on hand after deciding not to get a bluray drive for my R52 and I happened upon a curious site that is advertising, specifically for the R52, a 4GB RAM chip.

Thank you so much for the reply! I was primarily interested in the drive for watching movies. High resolution isn't a priority- I would most likely shunt the resolution down to something around 640x480 while watching them. More of a priority is compatibility; my wife replaced her DVD collection at h...

Hi, I've just bought an R52 and I'm looking at putting a bluray drive into its UltraBay Enhanced bay. However, I keep finding conflicting information about compatibility. I've found a drive with the model number of 43N3200. Does anyone know if this will be compatible with the bay? Thanks in advance!
