Does 8GB RAM is supportable for the GSM 965 based laptops?

[Gag$nesh]

I was at first under the impression the GM965 chipset is equipment-restrained to 4GiB of RAM, but that is clearly not the case. I could not venture to consider the specsheet idiom the 965 chipsets uphold 8GiBs of RAM but bits of gossip around the network idiom this chipset "unofficially" underpins 8GiB are in abundance. Has anyone tried out this? Any suggestion for this problem please let me know the solution. Thanking all in advanced for helping me and giving me the suggestions.

I successfully purchased und introduced 2 * 4GB slam and got them going with the full 8GB measure on my U9200 with Win7 64. They were the cheapest around (89€ for the Kit) and publicized as DDR2-800 (PC2-6400) SO-DIMM 256Mx8x16 twofold side-so I gather no extraordinary chips or anything similar to that needed.

It's a restriction of the GM965 chipset which can just use 4gig of ram as per Intel. Toshiba has nothing to do with it. As with all fittings it is feasible at times to overtake the specs, but not invariably which is why 6gig is working, but 8 gigs isn't. The info in that string is wrong as the GM965 is a subset of the PM965 chipset and unless explicitly stated in the spec sheet it imparts every last trace of the particulars and constraints of the PM965. The PM965 spec states 4gigs max and the GM965 try not to post anything diverse so it is likewise confined to 4gig.

I don't doubt that. But there are still a LOT of systems that Toshiba is supporting to run Windows 7 that have a CPU with VT but the bios has it disabled with no way to enable it. Toshiba is taking a LONG time getting around to providing updated bios files to address this, If they haven't addressed that issue yet, and let's be honest there are a LOT more people looking for that than there are looking to run 8gig of ram on a GM965 chipset system, I can't imagine that they would work on something that complicated instead of something as simple as enabling VT. It just isn’t going to happen.

It's feasible, but I wouldn't depend on Toshiba discharging one to do that. We lack the capacity to get them to do something as basic as making the Enable VT ready on their laptops so individuals can utilize XP Mode in Windows 7 and there are a LOT more folks searching for that than there are looking to commission 8gigs of ram on a laptop. For the reason that I am likewise running 6 GB of RAM (4 by 2) on my framework and it is not having any situation.

While I was surfing on the web I saw the queries and the suggestions the suggestions are very precise but in this case I could take every available opportunity to propose you that Main Memory Address Space (4 GB to TOUUD). Previous chipsets upheld a greatest fundamental memory size of 4-GB aggregate memory. This could effect in a hole among TOLUD (Top of Low Usable DRAM) and 4 GB when principle memory size went at 4 GB, bringing about a certain measure of physical memory being distant to the framework.

Second, more memory doesn’t programmed meet more speed from the machine. The 4GB modules are still running at the same speed as the Samsung modules that are ordinarily in my Mac. In any case, on account of you have more limit, you now have the fitness to run certain requisitions in a more productive way. For example, now you might dispense respectably more memory to a Windows Vista, Windows XP or Linux virtual machine. That is determined to make them run speedier.
