Aspire 4736Z - DDR3 RAM

Thread Starter 
On the spec, my current 4736Z system is running with Intel T4400 (2.2GHz, 1MB Cache, 800MHz FSB), 2GB DDR3 RAM with genuine Window 7 Home Premium 64bit installed.

As to my understandng, the new Window 7 can address more than 4GB RAM from previous 32bit Window OS.

The question that I don't understand is why can't I upgrade the 4736Z notebook RAM more than 4GB, said with the market offering of 4GB x 2 DDR3 RAM giving me the 8GB instead?

My reason being the Window 7 was installed and the system supports DDR3 also.

Did I miss something?

Michelle was correct in her post.

You need to scroll down the pdf to GL40 Express Chipset (1.4) - there it states clearly max ram support is 4GB.

cheers ...

Wasn't paying attention to the intro section.

Any good recommendation of Dual-channel Interleaved DDR3 2GB x 2 for my 4736Z?

Hynix, Elixir, Samsung are the few manufacturers that I use. I tend to go for a good price offer and known resellers in case of warranty.

cheers ...
