Guide to installing 4GB ram on Asus G1S

Does anyone know where this is? I want to upgrade my asus to 4gb. Also maybe special ram requirements? As in "Don't buy the OCZ PC-5400 It wont work in your Asus and will cause it to fail".

Also does anyone know if freebsd has any issues running on it?

Thank you!

It is simple:
Buy corsair or G Skill from new egg (~200$) 667MHZ 200 pin.
Open the middle memory cover (look in your manual if you got no clue).
Pop out the 2 sticks.
If your new sticks have heatspreaders, take em off cause they won't fit.
Put in the new sticks and make sure they are seated all the way.
Close memory cover.
Install 64bit OS.
Play.

 

Search the forum here before you do -- Asus notebooks still may not recognize the full 4GB even with Vista64 due to what may be a BIOS issue, and there are also reports of performance hits above 3GB as well.

 

hehe ty, just want to make sure it's doable and there's nothing special needed

Yay!

They should work fine.

 

Hold it a sec there fellas.

Before you upgrade your RAM, please read this threat first:

In short, if you want to upgrade, make sure you get a dual channel kit, not two individual RAM sticks.

 

dual channel increases performance by 2-3% in laptop systems nowadays. In other words, the difference is almost negligable.
Do checkout RAM DEALS in the tech deals part of this forum!

 

If sticks are same size, they will work in DC

 

I don't think so, some systems are more tolerable with mix and matching RAM to run in dual channel mode and some have zero tolerance.

 

Well yeah, they also need to be of same latency and some systems have problems. But you usually try to take 2/4x the same brand/model
