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
I don`t knew how to set the max limit to 4GB in the bios all i knew its hard to do this ( in case its not a hardware issue ) .
I`m sorry for this .
