Make sure you point out that this is not a limitation of the chipset, as some people on Usenet claim, but just a braindead bios. Then dump your old T60 for a T61. >"512 MB or 1 GB PC2-5300 memory standard upgradable to 4 GB - Due to an >addressing limitation in the Intel 945PM and 945GM chipsets, only 3GB will >be available for use."

Sheesh. BTW, you can edit bios registers and coax another 512MB or so out of even a T60. Nothing to do with the chipset at all. >Eh? It's nothing to do with "MS". <shakes head> I guess when you only have a >hammer everything looks like a nail? Specially that point on the top of your little head. Looks just like a 8d Common!
