    Hi all,

    I've just had a look around the intertubes and discovered that as a result of Asus' refusal to provide an updated BIOS for the original G1, it cannot support 4GB of RAM despite being otherwise capable of doing so.

    I was wondering if anyone has found a way around this by using either a BIOS hacked by a person far more intelligent than myself, or by using a BIOS for the Asus G1S or G1Sn? Or perhaps through another method entirely?

    Cheers
    Confy
