    A month ago i purchased Tz17gn/b when i was on holiday in hong kong, I found out that i had some problem with vista with only a gig ram. My problem is that in UK there arn't places that offer my notebook, is there any places or site that i can purchase 2gb ram?

    Hey Blackpanda your Vaio TZ does not use any kind of proprietary memory or no need to go buying ram from Sony et al at crazy prices. Try something like this

    http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=325699

    Its only one of many sites so please shop around for the best prices. Just take note of the specs of this ram to use in your search.

    We're not talking about the American TZ170N/B here, but the Tz17gn/b, which is not an American model that has 1gb of ram.

    The spec and link I posted earlier was obtained by going to www.komplett.co.uk and using the configurator to select the correct ram for the TZ. As far as I am aware all TZ's use the same ram so even though yours is from HK it should still be the ram you need.

    Personally I would go with Crucial ram or Corsair. I don't have anything against Transcend but id love to here other peoples opinions if they had any good/horror stories.

    Haha, you're suffering from a modern malady, called "mild cognitive impairment," caused by too much multitasking. We're losing memory at a faster rate due to a number of lifestyle factors, so nothing to worry about. Just invest in companies that are bringing memory drugs to market! :D
