Update!
Unfortunately the detailed specs for my MB are unavailable
because it’s in an Asus G74sx gaming laptop. Asus will only provide the specs
that the system was initially built with not the actual capabilities of the
board. However, after much research, I
did find a form with others’ like me, wanting to upgrade the ram on this
particular system. Thanks to others’ trial and error, I got my question answered.
I indeed can run 8 X 4GHz. of ram. The MB BIOS will indeed address this much
memory. I answered my own question. Thank
you to anyone who took the time to look at this thread and tried to help.
Here are some things that need to be considered when upgrading
ram.
1. Know the max amount of ram the CPU is designed
to handle.
2. Know the different speeds of ram the CPU can
handle.
The information for the first two is readily
available on the Intel website.
3. Know the max amount of ram the BIOS on the MB
will address: This was tough information for me to find. Good Luck!
