    Not a bad notebook, with 4 gbs of memory. Fair warning to all owners. 4 gb's of memory is sweet only problem is that the newest bios version(1.20) will not support lil know boot into bio's. If you are planning to upgrade your memory make sure you have bios version 1.19 installed. Or your system will not boot. Not only does version 1.20 not support the 4 gb's , it also drops the max memory setting for your video to 128. ( versus 256 mb in ver 1.19). After installing yor memory make sure to d/l SP1 for vista. It may not use all the available memory but it will at least show 4 gb's in windows.. :eek: :eek:

    I agree with ratchetnclank though.

    Easy.... If you want to run 4 gb's of memory and be able to set your video at 256mb install bios version 1.19... Version 1.20 will not support 4 gigs and will only allow you to set your video to a maximum of 128 mb. In other word's ... Version 1.20 is garbage !! What else would you expect from Acer. :rolleyes:

    He is a 9300 user that encountered some problems. And now he comes here with his knowledge. That's it.
