We could investigate the ASUS problem by checking the country of origin
for every ASUS whith the slot problem...
So we could reach an outcome on which VAIOS are likely to produce the ram slot problem.

Do you know if also the new Vaios have the same problem??

Also is it a more USA vaio problem ar just is more reported up there?

I m thinking of upgrting now my bios to the 246 one, but still afraid
that something goes wrong.....

anyway thanks a lot guys

It's hard to tell where the problems lie, it's not just a US thing or a UK thing.

Of course the final decision rests with you and it is not for the faint hearted, but I have upgraded two GRX CPU's and flashed the bios of each laptop twice without any issues..

Initially to RO220 and then to RO246.

Its very euphoric when your laptop comes back to life - Especially when one belongs to someone else.

I find the GRX is more than suitable for my work still.
