Hi I have SL500 and I am planning to upgrade to Windows 7. Currenlty I have Windows Vista Business Premium installed. Would there be any issues with my current hardware cause once I upgraded my OS i'am planning to expand my RAM from 4GB to 8GB. Any advice will be higly appreciated.

Hi

Few days ago I bought my sl500 and first thing after creating recovery disks was clean install of windows 7 64bit pro. There was no problems at all. About your ram, correct me if im wrong but I thought that sl500 can handle max 4gb ram?

hi ,

first of all i knew that SL500 can only uprage to 4GB not over and  it s not possible the OS can recognise over 4gb of RAM as Vista 32bit didnt i dont know if  Win 7 32bit recognize it .. but i heard 64bits recognise over 8gb and also 16gb of RAM ...

Don't do it - the driver support isn't there yet. 6W higher power consumption, broken Ultranav standard scrolling...

As for the RAM - up to 4GB is supported, but I wouldn't be surprised if more worked - it was the same on some older T6X models...
