Hello,
Ok, I have a third old Sony laptop VGN-A397XP originally shipped with 512MB of RAM and since the purchase I had already upgraded the RAM to 1.5GB by adding a module of 1GB under the laptop.
Since the mainboard, according to Sony, supports dual-channel mode I already ordered another 1 GB of RAM which I will receive next week.
My problem is that the second module of 512MB, which I intend to replace with 1 GB, is located underneath the keyboard. (This laptop supports a max of 2GB or DDR2 RAM).
My questions:
1) According to the manual all is needed is a slight pressure to lift the keyboard, but it doesn't mention if I should press the keystrokes in 3 locations in front of the keyboard so it can be unclipped or if I should press or elevate the 3 clips in order to release the keyboard? Please advice...
2) Do I need to enter the BIOS and activate dual channel mode or this will happen automatically?
How should I check for this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
