Guys,
Have bought 4GB RAM today. Installed it under the keyboard "DIMM SLOT 4" according to the manual. But the notebook bios and windows cant detect it. Anyone installed via DIMM Slot 1 & 4 ? Or must be in sequence 1 & 2 ??

Any advice is much appreciated.

Is it same 1333Mhz?

I'm using the same RAM. Not sure about your case.. Is the RAM inserted properly? Slot 1 is hidden, slot 2 & 3 is behind the back panel, slot 4 is below the keyboard and black plastic by the way sweat.gif

Maybe try the bottom slot?

Is there any special procedure how to transfer the recovery partition into the ssd?
Im plannning to change to ssd too but I still not sure how to copy that partition. Mind shed some light?

Are you cloning your OS to the SSD? Or clean install?

THIS might help you. But if you plan to clean install OS on SSD, then i don't see the point for a recovery partition. Just keep a spare Win7 Home Premium x64 disk and use the key on the sticker below your laptop.

I still have the recovery partition on the HDD though. Can't seem to remove it, so i just left it there, lol.

so basically we dont always need the recovery partition to start up the window?

Lol - silly me, I tot the recovery partition is a requirement for the bios. Dont no where i got that from. I must misread it somewhere. In that case I might join you guyz soon smile.gif

Nope, the recovery partition is just a backup of the factory OS, a win7 disk can also do what it does (repair mode etc) The trouble to clean install is the drivers..

Some useful and newer ones here

The other drivers should just get from Asus page rolleyes.gif

BTW, which SSD you got? brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif

Nice, thanks for sharing. That help alot

About the ssd.... Im not sure, im considering either Crucial, Corsair or Intel. Eying on 120GB at least.

Crucial and Intel using different chip from Corsair.. If you have budget like <600 and want 120GB, get either Corsair or OCZ hmm.gif
