Hello all. I know this is an old thread, but it has practically all the info I need. The OP has the exact same Rig that I do, with only a few differences. I'll copy/paste what he has. Differences in RED
Motherboard
Manufacturer alienware
Model alienware
Version alienware
Chipset Vendor NVIDIA
Chipset Model nForce 680i SLI SPP
Chipset Revision A2
Southbridge Vendor NVIDIA
Southbridge Model nForce 680i SLI MCP
Southbridge Revision A2 MINE IS A3
BIOS
Brand Phoenix Technologies, LTD
Version 6.00 PG
Date 07/03/2007 MINE IS 01/22/2008
What im trying to do is get more RAM. I currently have 4 x1GB sticks. My research has told me this Motherboard has a MAX 4GB support.
When I switch to Win7 x64 OS will this open up my Motherboard to except more RAM or am I stuck with 4GB and will need to replace MB?
I'm learning this all on the fly. Hope this makes sense and Thanx in advance.
