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 2×2gb. My customer asked if this was actually possible as she had seen several forums of people discussing an issue with the 5610z and installing 2×2gb modules. People are having POST freezes or errors with 4gb installed, however they are having successful POSTs with 1×2gb 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
