you can check on ebay and stuff they have good competive rates, and I'm pretty sure the battery size is same regardless which country you bought it, also you should jot down the model number of your battery to get the exact match for your computer. with the model number also check out pricegrabber.com and other places

Hi - Can these same instructions to upgrade the RAM located under the keyboard be applied to the Acer Ferrari 3000 - or is the process different?

Hey, I'm thinking about buying two RAM modules: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Value-...7010159&sr=1-1

The only question is regarding the frequency: as far as I know, running 533 Mhz memory card on a computer supporting up to 333 Mhz shouldn't be a problem (except from not using the card full speed), or?

Thanks!

IT is DDR2 Ram. And It dont think that 3400 supports it. So dont go for it. Find DDR instead

The laptop is sexy. I wonder if it's just looks, instead of performance.

yea like other users said ddr2 will not fit in ferarri, DDR is the only option man its so nice to see there are still alot of ferrari 3200/3400 users still out there. I may opt to retire this beast when acer comes out with ferrari series with either puma or shrike processors.

I've got a Ferrari 3200, and I am trying to put a 250gb WD HD in it. So far it is only seeing 137gb. I've upgraded the bios, and tried several disk managers, update windows XP to SP3, all drivers are updated...I'm running 2gb of RAM, otherwise it is stock.

Also, when running the 80gb internally, and having the 250gb externally connected it does see all 250gb. It doesn't make sense that it sees it outside the computer but not in it.

So my question is, has anyone else run into this problem, and how did you solve it? I tried searching here and didn't find anything that worked.

Thanks

u gotta partition it bro, the max it can read is 137 gb, so make the partitions less than 137 gb and divide it up. That is the only way to access all the hd

I have tried that a few ways. I've tried formatting it externally first, all partitions less than 137gb. I have tried installing windows on a 20gb partition and then through windows disk management partitioning all unallocated space to under 137gb. It still only ends up seen 137gb available when you add up the partitions.

I have also tried Western Digitals Data Lifeguard Tools 11.2 for DOS (CD) and that won't see the entire drive no matter how it is partitioned.

I have all the updated drivers from acer, and completely updated windows XP Pro.

Pilot101, are you running a HD larger than 137gb? and OT, are you a licensed pilot, what do you fly?

rofl no turboexec, its just a random name i received when i was in 6th grade in lieu of using real name to check ur grade. I just ended up using as my regular sn hahha. Woah that sux, I'm sorry to hear partition doesn't work. I personally haven't tried it myself, my hd is under 137 gb. But i was going through threads and was recommended by couple ppl and thought i would just pass on the message. Hope it works out in the end bro

Well just to update...
I have the HD partitioned as such:
20gb
40gb
70gb
100gb

Windows sees all the partitions now but won't let me format the 100gb partition. I have tried formatting through my computer, Windows disk management, and with paragon HD manager. None of them have been able to format the partition.

If anyone has any opinions/options let me know.

Is the BIOS in this laptop Socket or soldered?
PC Wizard 2008 identifies as Socket. So like to confirm it....
