M570U vista 64

I searched all over but couldn't find anything recent so I'm asking for help

I just upgraded my m570U to the 4 GB windows sees the 3GB is there a work around to allow it to see all 4 GB or am I just out of luck?

Either case no worries as I have another machine I can put the 2 GB chip in and swap back in the 1 GB for it so see the 3 GB

TIA

if your running vista x64 then it will use 4gb otherwise your out of luck. doesn't matter what anyone tells you.

 

I believe in the m570u the chipset is limited to 4GB and any other required addressable areas are removed from that, leaving you with 3.xGB max addressable ram

 

If thats true, that sucks..
So if you order the new 9800gtx your are immeditaly down to 3g..

 

you guys talking about the M570 TU (Montevina platform - Intel PM45) or the M570 U (Napa platform - Intel PM945) ?

 

I am newb enough to not realize there are 2 platforms. i figured he shortened the name...

So does the M570TU alow more then 4gigs?? Off Topic i know, but i am tired,

 

I assume he actually means the m570u (old version).

The M570TU can accept 8GB minus any other space, so you'll see ~7GB

 

M570U is old first (Napa) generation Core Duo/Core 2 Duo with PM945 chipset
- supports ~3gigs DDR2

M570RU is the next generation (Santa Rosa) with Core 2 Duo with PM965 chipset
- supports 4gigs DDR2-667

M570TU is latest generation (Montevina) with Core 2 Duo with PM45 chipset
- supports 8gigs DDR3

 

hi Gophn thanks for the detailed breakdown this is the M570U so the PM945 chipset.

 

yup the M570U has the PM945 chipset
- limited to first generation mobile Core 2 Duo's (65nm)
- limited to ~3 gigs of DDR2 (even if you stick in 4gigs)
- limited to previous generation Clevo videocard modules (tops out at 7950GTX)
- can run 32-bit or 64-bit OS's fine.
