    Hey, I have a problem when trying to upgrade my w3415 from 1x2GB DDR2 to 2x2GB DDR2, both pc 5300. But it can't read more than 2GB under the BIOS boot or in windows? I have tried using another RAM block, but with same results? :confused: Any ideas?

    Have you tried updating the BIOS to the most recent version 1.18?

    If that doesn't solve the problem, then it sounds like a defective RAM slot on the motherboard.

    I updated the BIOS, and guess what, it worked. Thanks ReneSDK!
