I haven't checked for BIOS updates yet, we were planning to try a different brand of memory modules. The chipset is supposed to be able to support up to 16GB. 8GB should definitely be supported by the default BIOS revision. I put 4GB in it, and it boots up fine.
Also, this has nothing to do with the fact that it runs slow when its up and running with 4GB. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
