Hello to all, I have couple of questions for Vaio proffessionals.
1.First of all we purchased some vaio lappies recently,
one of them is TR2MP. also we purhased memory upgrade for it PCGA-MM512U (like it says in additional accessories).Unfortunately laptop refuses to work with 1GB RAM !!! It works with 512MB in one slot or another slot, it works with new memory which I purchased, but it just doesn't work with both memories at a time.... So I think it has limit 512MB RAm (couldnt find info @ sony websites regarding this)
2.I have GRT996VP with docking station and additional 768MB RAM and GRT916Z. I use 996VP and would like to upgrade it with P4 3.06HT GHZ CPU from 916z, can I do it myself?( some hardware profs told me that it's a very complicatedt process in GRT series, does anybody have an experience?) OR maybe its easier for me just to exchange HDD between them, so I can keep Win XP all my settings and installed soft in 916Z with Pentium 3.06 ???
Guys I require ur advice.
Thanks in advance, regards, Andy.

Technically the TR-models would even support 2GB of memory. As there are only 512MB modules available, though, the realistic and possible max. is 1GB.
Strange is that 1 module works in both slots...
Does the machine start at all, or is it not possible to switch it on?
Concerning the GRTs: don't try to swap CPUs! in fact the chipset of the 996VP will not support the P4 HT. Do the HD-swap, that will only take 2 minutes...
Thanks for advice regarding 996VP & 916Z I'll swap HDD...
Regarding TR2MP I tried both memories in both slots one by one (First I thought , maybe my new memory is faulty...), it works good, until I insert second 512 memory, lappie starts, XP is loading and after it just switches off...
Are they exactly the same type.
Like CL2/CL3, and the RAM timings.
Actually I can't find any marks of timings like CL or other on memory slots...
All I know that I purchased EXACTLY the same sony branded memory slot sony pcga-mm512u , like they say in additional accesories for tr2mp...
Cool
