    I installed a 2 gig stick of ram into my 5315 yesterday along with the 1 gig it already had. Now i can't open "my computer" or "accessories"/. Any ideas why this would be?

    i believe the new bios supports more than 2...

    CPUz and PCwiz 2008 indicate 4gig limit... but ofcourse the 3.3 limit will make any above 3g useless
