ya know when i bought my vaio a317s its written in the techincal spec that it had 512mb ram.. and can be upgrade to 1024mb.. but the thing is THEY NEVER SAID ITS 2X256mb!!! which didnt left any space for me to upgrade it unless i take out the original ram, meanings i had to buy 2x512mb ram instated of 1. and what am i going to do with the original 2x256mb ram then?..:smileyconfused::smileydevil:

same here, Don't know why Sony make this S***.
One 512MB module is cheaper as 2X256MB.

I think Sony needs urgently fresh Coworker, like Germany new politician and I more perspective in this f***.......

But this is a stupid idea. NEVER BUY SONY RAM.
I'm sure Sony bought RAM from other manufacturer (my be, like Samsung) and brands his own Logo on the Chip.

As I have bought my Labtop for 2 years ago. I have looked in my Laptop, and what I must see?

"Samsung RAM"

You can buy a RAM for my Laptop for approx 80-100¿ (SO-DIMM DDR2100, 200 Pin, 512MB)

If I would buy this RAM on the Sonysite, I would pay 230¿.

Was is this for a f****** bullsh*t. Sometimes, If I read some threads here in this Forum. I have the desire to buy a IBM or Powerbook next time.:smileyrolling_eyes:

Sony RAM is apallingly overpriced. Even more so than the rest of their range. It's somewhat slow if it's what they use in their own computers too, still 2100 for newest models. Non-Sony RAM will void your warranty will it not? So best to keep the old sticks around to put back in if you ever ship it off to repair.

yeah, Why sony don't use DDR2 technologie?

A Laptop is only so fast, like the RAM permits.

If I see the new FS-series with slow 2700RAM , arghhh
I think not that a FS-115Z is real faster as my FR-315S.
The only different is the craphicscard. the bigger harddisk and may be the cool desine.

I can't make advertising for a brilliant display, which is more as 2 years old. And I can't understand that some peoples, falling every time in the same advertising case.

I'm was falling in this case too. And I'm not pleased about this.

Another thing that kept bugging me recently is the HDD... i know at first it didnt bother me much but now i am really curious to know..
its stated in my vaio spec that i supposed to had 100G HDD
but i check it out, my C: is 27.9G and my 😧 is 58.2G so total is.. 86.1G?.. then deduct 100G i am missing like 13.9G??? lets say 5G for recovery partition, i suppose to had atlest 8G more right?

any comment?

Re: RAM oh RAM

kee-lo_ — Mon, 14 Mar 2005 16:50:37 GMT

I think the recovery partition is closer to 10GB these days (2DVDs)

Re: RAM oh RAM

Eugenepang — Tue, 15 Mar 2005 01:38:03 GMT

but when i do a recovery back-up on a cd-r, its needed 7 cd-r.. so i guess it about 5G+ right?

Re: RAM oh RAM

kee-lo_ — Tue, 15 Mar 2005 15:50:56 GMT

7 x 700MB = 4,900MB which is around 4.9GB

Re: RAM oh RAM

Eugenepang — Tue, 15 Mar 2005 19:31:06 GMT

yeah, still i am missing around 8-9G because 13G-4G=9G... wonder why they put so big for the recovery partition?

Re: RAM oh RAM

kee-lo_ — Tue, 15 Mar 2005 19:50:49 GMT

Strange
Wonder if partition magic shows missing unformated areas on the disk?

A freeware partition viewer will be enough
