Hard Drive and RAM

[rhino63]

I cannot seem to locate this information concerning my Sony Vaio Laptop. My question is this, i have the intel centrino processor duo core 2, T5550 @1.67, and i was wondering what kind of maximum memory can my laptop handle? Also, I have a 160gb hard drive and a tech guy at best buy said i could go up to 320gb but is that the limit, or can my computer handle 500 or even 1TB hard drive?

Thanks,

You could go to the Sony website and look up the information yourself, or google your laptop model number. Do a little work!!!!

Dallasjoh, I have been to Sony multiple times and even called them to no avail. The site does describe my computer but does not state anywhere on how much i can upgrade my hard drive. I have checked out many sites and spent over a few hours each day for a couple days with no answer. I called best buy and they had no answer. I called Geek squad and they said only 250 unless you have a dual hard drive port. But prior to that, i went into Best Buy this past week and they guy there said about 320gb. So i gotten two different answers from the same company and then you have not given me anything either. I am trying to learn up on anything and everything about computers, so this is all new to me but i have spend many hours reading and researching and getting different answers. Thank you for not helping me!

So if anyone else has a sound answer, i would greatly appreciate it. My computer is a Sony Vaio VGN-AR320E, T5550 @ 6.67 Intel Centrino Duo 2 Core with 160gb hard drive.

There shouldn't be an actual limit, aside from the largest currently made. If you have a SATA port, you should currently be able to use up to 500GB, but that limit is only because that is the largest currently available.
