HP G60-535DX : Upgrading memory question

I just have a quick question for you guys. I just bought a new HP laptop and it has 3gb ddr2 memory. It says that the max memory is 4gb, but I was wondering if you can put in say 6gb or 8gb? Reason I ask is because I saw a sony laptop that was essentially the same with the memory being the exception. On the Sony, it came with 4gb and was expandable to 8gb. Oh, and my laptop is running Windows 7 64bit if that matters. If its not possible, Ill just upgrade to 4gb... If you guys could though, maybe tell me what limits a pc's ability to run a certain amount of memory? Mine has 2 slots for memory and I have seen some 4gb sticks for sale, but Im not going to spend the money on something that wont work. Anyway, thanks for any help you guys can give!

Shane

The specs call for 1x1 + 1x2. With max = 4gig, the internal slot would have to be able to take the 2gig module.

I personally think that you probably can upgrade this comp up to 8gig. But since 4gig is quite expensive just for trying, I recommend that you try "borrowing" a 4 gig module somewhere and see if you can boot up with 5 gig in total first.

cheers ...

Good luck. You can also take the comp to a shop and ask to try out before buying. Show to them that the system functions correctly before swapping ram modules. Most of them would assist you.
