This may be a dumb question, but I have an HP Pavillion DV6871us model laptop. The motherboard says it maxes out at 4GB of RAM, but it was written before there were 4GB sticks really available.
I guess my question is, where does the 4GB limitation come from?
Is it simply because 2GB was the largest DDR2 chip available at the time, or is it actually embedded somewhere in the hardware?
For instance, now that 4GB chips are available, would I be able to put one into my laptop and have it recognized?
