    We just got our new 8740w quad but we only bought 2 GB with it as HP's prices were ridiculous.
    We also just received 4 x 4 GB ram from Crucial and want to install it.
    I've installed ram from crucial before but when I opened the cover on the 8740w I only see 2 channels -- I believe #3 & #4 (the 4 seems to be covered by a sticker. )

    I can't find a schematic to track down channels 1 & 2 -- can any one help?

    Merry Xmas :)
