Hi,
I have a VGN-A397XP with 512 MB of RAM and I want to upgrade it. There are 2 free slots for memory (one under the keyboard and another under the laptop itself. The tech spec says that I can upgrade up to 1GB (so I should use only one slot with a 512MB module). But I've seen that it exists 1GB module for the VGN-A397XP. So my question is: can I upgrade my existing 512MB by one 512MB in one slot and 1GB in the other slot?
Regards

Hi,
If I asked this question, this is because:
1) The VGN-A397XP technical spec states that the laptop has 512MB and can be upgraded up to 1GB
BUT:
2) The link you gave me (vaio-link.com) states that the 512MB are in a slot and you can use the second slot to upgrade up to 2GB. This is false: the 512MB are on the motherboard and there are really 2 free slots. I think that I can upgrade with 512MB under the keyboard and 1GB under the laptop. So 512+512+1024=2GB. But see 1)...!!!
So, I don't know how to upgrade....
Thanks
This is false: the 512MB are on the motherboard and there are really 2 free slots.
If i remember correctly, the A3xx can only be upgraded to 1GB.
There is a free slot underneath your keyboard. You have to take the long bolts in the middle of the bottom out, then take the keyboard out. Beware, its clipped in. Look in the crack between the keyboard and the laptop. Push the clippings back, use something slender for it. Then take care, loose the connectioncable. There you go.

Not that you need that much LOL
