    Does anyone know if it is possible to install more than the 2 GB of RAM that this laptop is listed as the max.?

    I've been told that if you flash the BIOS to the latest version, you can install
    (2) 2 GB memory sticks and the laptop will recognize 3 GB for Vista 32-bit or 4GB for Vista 64-bit. Also, you must ensure that the memory conforms to certain specs. ???

    Is this true, or am I stuck with 2 GB max.??

    If it has two slots of RAM then it will support 4GB after that BIOS update.
