    I am thinking about upgrading my ram in my notebook. I have Windows vista Home Premium SP1 32. I have 2048MBs now, and was wondering what the MAX i can put in it? Is it 3GB 3.5GB or 4GB? I also ran CPU-Z and i have Hyundai Electronics Ram? Wow, they make everything! (also have 2 hyundais :-D) thanks.

    The max RAM that your laptop can recognize is 4GB, but the max RAM your 32-bit OS can use is 3.2GB. So I would go with the 3GB, and then if you get a 64-bit OS you can just buy another 2GB stick.

    Also, the max speed of RAM your laptop can handle is DDR-2 667Mhz. If you purchase the DDR-2 800Mhz the RAM will still work, but will only run at 667Mhz speed, so it will be a waste of money.
