    Maybe this is a HARDWARE problem but not an OS problem. Press F2 after turn on your M17x to enter the BIOS, it may display the system memory is 2GB, that means the system hardware (motherboard) can only recogonize 2GB memory, no matter what OS installed. I have this problem too, the AW customer support ask me to send back my M17x for repair.
