Hi jamesv3s and welcome to Club Vaio.

CRUCIAL.COM/UK say you can use up to 2048 MB of RAM. Lots of members here use them and they have a good reputation. They also guarantee the RAM will be compatible and that 2048 will work.

It may improve your start up speed but I would download the free (for 30 days) version of TUNE-UP UTILITIES and give your Vaio a good spring clean by running the Registry and Disc cleaners and the other System Optimisations.

You can check if your Vaio is Vista compatible by downloading the VISTA UPGRADE ADVISOR and running it on your system.

In manual it's said 1GB... that's the safest way to upgrade..

But if you are thinking to get Windows Vista.. then 2GB of RAM .. risk is need to be taken..

I'm using V2M .. much likely the same as V3M or V3S in my opinion.. I'm using 1GB RAM ... doesn't think of 2GB unless if I prepare to install Vista..

you need to wait a while to install Vista as the drivers aren't compatible at the moment.. just wait then..

If you want to try Windows Vista you can Download the VMWare (www.vmware.com) Server & you'll be able to try out VISTA in a virtual machine on your Windows XP system, Without changing or damageing your current hard drive settings & files.
