A customer emailed me last night asking about the Acer Aspire 5610z notebook. Our website shows memory upgrades available for this computer up to 4gb installed as 2x2gb. My customer asked if this was actually possible as she had seen several forums of people discussing an issue with the 5610z and installing 2x2gb modules. People are having POST freezes or errors with 4gb installed, however they are having successful POSTs with 1x2gb installed. Hmmm. This looks like a BIOS issue to me. the 2gb parts will work individually, but together,the BIOS is having trouble. I’m hoping that Acer will release a BIOS update that will resolve this conflict so that this machine can actually operate with 4gb installed as the manual states! Here’s a link to the memory upgrades for the Acer Aspire 5610z Notebook at our store.

And a link to one of the forum threads discussing the issue
