Hi Folks,
The Bios for my DV8000 has a soft limit of 3gb, my chip set has a hard limit of 4gb.
Can anyone provide an update bios that removes this 3gb ram limit please?
Here is the Bios
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35001-35500/sp35204.exe
I need to get some more use out of her for a while.. throwing in 4gb ram, and a T7600 dual core, along with an SSD for windows 7 64 bit ( due to the T7600 upgrade ) and a 7200 rpm 500gb drive for storage.. it'll hold both!
This should get me through until the new ivy bridge laptops are out... I need the system to see at least 4gb or I can't/run my cad/cam software properly.
Thank you !!!
PS: I'd also like to upgrade the wifi if possible, and install windows 7
