98x0 common questions answered  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
This thread was originally coceived as a rant for the over asked question "Why isn't 4 GB offered in the 98x0" However I will now try to update it with a few commonly asked questions about this laptop.

4GB Memory
The Clevo D900T(9860, 9880, Area 51 7700, Hypersonic EX7, or any other variant there of) model can not us 4GB of memory, while as stated by the Intel 915P chipset it can address up to 4GB, 1.17GB of this addressable memory bandwidth is reserved for other hardware devices... no matter what operating system you use, this is still the case(Yes that means you cannot use it with XP 64!!).

Ultra motherboard version
The correct motherboard version you will need to use the nVidia 6800 Ultra is v5.3 or higher.

7800GTX Upgrade
The lowest version of Mobo you will be able to run the 7800 GTX on will be the 6.1.

See picture below for how to verify your Mobo version.
