    Hi all!
    I got a VAIO VGN-AR750E: PM 965 (BIOS Phoenix R2080J8), T 9500 (upgraded from T 8100), 4GB 667 RAM, 8600M GT, 2 x Plextor 256 M2S.
    I want to also upgrade to 8 GB RAm...
    Therefore, is PM 965 platform capable of 8 GB RAM?
    Can (has ever been) the BIOS Phoenix R2080J8 be tweaked / modded to support 8 GB RAM?
    What can I do?
    Many thanks for your kind understanding and (hope) cooperation!
    Teo

    Yes you can upgrade to 8gb, but I believe you need ddr2 which is expensive and probably not worth it.
