681076 2008-06-22 10:28:00 So, A few of the Toshiba A200 model lappys, specs say they can take up to 4GB of RAM.
(Memory: Expandable to 4GB)

They can only take 2GB. No matter what configuration the sticks are in.

Toshiba admitted they ballsed up, and said as far as they were aware, the only models affected were the:

PSAF0A-0EV019

PSAF1A-001001

PSAF1A-003002

Just in case anyone is looking at a new laptop.... :p

This was a few weeks ago, so they should have been able to fix the advertising by now.

681077 2008-06-22 10:51:00 WTF? Are they going to release a BIOS update or something? beeswax34 (63)
681078 2008-06-22 10:55:00 Probably not if it cant take 4 GB Speedy Gonzales (78)
681079 2008-06-22 21:22:00 WTF? Are they going to release a BIOS update or something?

Nope, essentially they put a motherboard in a laptop that could only handle 2GB of RAM, but they were advertising the lappys as being expandable to 4GB.
