    Hi all!

    When I Google my M3438G, always the limit is max 2GB of ram. Is it anyone that has tested to put in 2x2GB=4GB in a 3438?
    I know that a 32bit OS/hardware only will use little more than 3GB of the ram. But I want to know, the memory is really cheep now, is it any point of buying more than 2GB?

    Maybe the 2GB limit is only from when the computer was manufactured and it didn't exist any 2GB modules to buy?

    it could also be a bios limitation. i know that is the case for my fujitsu n3530.

    edit: i just realized that you are using a chipset that uses the pentium m. i'm not 100% sure on this, but older chipsets do not support 4 gb ram.
