Brand new T60p (8741-C3U) and 4GB

#1 Post by cwemely » Mon Mar 12, 2007 11:24 am

Hi All,

New to the forums and I searched on this issue only to find several different threads that didn't seem to come to any hard and fast conclusion beyond the debate of OS and chipset.

I have a brand new T60p with 2GB RAM on-board and I purchased a 2GB module. After installation the BIOS indicates 4GB, but Win XP only sees 3GB. I know all about the various limitations with 32 bit OS's. I don't expect to see all 4GB. I even tried the /3GB switch in the boot.ini with no success.

My issue is that I just install a Dell desktop PC with 4GB and Win XP sees 3.54GB. I would be happy with 3.5GB on the T60p

Bottom line...Has anyone successfully seen more than 3GB in Win XP on a T60 or T60p?

Thanks!

Chip

Found this recently when I was browsing:
Dude, where is my 4GB of RAM?
Now: T60 2613-EKU | T23 2647-9NU | 600X 2645-9FU | HP 100LX
Past: X31 2673-Y13 | T41 2374-3HU | T22 2647-AEU


Rules of the road :thumbs-UP:
