Well, this thread could be more of a question rather than a request, apologies if this doesn't fit here
I've already found a thread which sort of solves the issue for some users but I don't know if my laptop model applies for that matter (same BIOS model, but not exactly same laptop, the Sony specs sheet hints at some Intel 945GM chipset but couldn't find much relevant info on the matter about the mobo)
This is the thread I'm talking about: http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-So...1M-R0200J3
Furthermore, will this even help me make better RAM work on this? The Vaio uses 8 black chips per stick, with a grand total of 1gb with the two 8-chip sticks (I don't know if they should be called sticks, so correct me if I'm wrong) while the new RAM sticks use 16 chips per stick, but I've found out it still boots into BIOS settings just fine with these and detects the 3gb of RAM, just sort of refuses to boot into windows or my multiboot usb (which did work before the "upgrade")
In other words, does RAM density still matter when booting into anything when the BIOS seems to work? Or is it just another "masterwork" setup by Sony?
Gonna leave my backup as an attachment just in case, any help would be appreciated
