Running 6Gb of RAM in my Asus G1S with Windows 7 bit

[CeesG1]

I have an Asus G1S with Windows 7 Bios 300, can I run 6Gb of RAM using a (1) 4GB stick and (1) 2GB stick of RAM?

Hi there!

i heard you can also run the intel T9500 but you need Pc6400 memorys.

I´ve purchased a pair of 2gb Pc6400 DDR II rams but for some reason it wont boot... i dont know if the memorys have some kind of problem or are incompatible with the asus. i have the 300 bios version.

Any one experience this?

Thks!

I am running a T9300 2.5 Ghz running in mine. I know what the original poster says he has 8gb of ram running in his system but i doubt it is actually using but 4gb of it. 2 from each slot.

Incorrect assumption, I am getting full use of all 8GB.

I've been successful with PC5300 DDR2 using (2) 4GB sticks. Try those instead.

Hello CeesG1 I'd be interested to ask you if you noticed a bit of overheating running Win7 x64. I had my G1S with original vista and it didn't heat up so much. That is maybe an issue due to its age (bought mine in 2007 and heavily used it) but i think that is maybe related to the way win 7 x64 works.

So i was wondering, if i upgrade to let's say 4gb total ram will i see any benefit? will the cpu workload be a bit less stressed? i am curious because the way it is sometimes the system freezes for up to 30 seconds and then continues to work and i guess it is because it cannot process properly everything with the cpu alone and so little ram (2gb). I have had also updated my bios to version 300 cause i know when you want to have more than 2gb you need to do that.

Any other forum user has tried win7 on this machine? or would you rather recommend to downgrade to winxp?

MY G1S flies of course I am running a T9300 CPU, heat is an issue and I use a cooling pad. Win 7 x64 Ultimate works fine on my G1S.

ceesg1 can you tell me the type/model number of the ram you are running.

Thanks
