    a thought.

    three slots in the G71G. each house up 2GB sticks. anyone know what the limitations on the mobo are for this box? could we eventually stuff 4GB sticks in there?

    12GB would be sweeeeeet.

    The G71G only supports 8gb of ram (Chipset limitation).
    You only really need that much ram if you're running virtual machines.

    you gotta get the RAM first.

    then when you get the RAM, you get the power.

    then when you get the power, then you get the women.

    ;)

    good to know. but with three slots, i guess that means 2-2-4 = 8?
