R61 Memory

[joheggen]

Why does Levono advertise 4gig of memory max when it uses only 3?

[wjli2]

whether it uses 3 gig or 4 gig is a Operating System limitation, if you use 64 bit of XP or Vista, then all 4 gig of your ram can be used.

Thank You for your response. Will the R61 Thinkpad run the 64 bit version of Vista?

[wjli2]

yes it would if you have the Santa Rosa CPU chip set

How do I find out if I have the Santa Rosa chip set??

It actually doesn't really matter whether or not you have the Santa Rosa platform, it's more of whether your Vista version is x64 or not. But to answer your question, the Santa Rosa platform is supported by the R61's (provided you have the necessary components).

x64 bit operating system need the 64 bit CPU to work don't it, Santa Rosa is the only mainstream CPU released by Intel that has 64 bit support.
