Over 3,000 MB of RAM Diables Wireless Communications

Posted: 09-12-2007, 05:42 PM
I have Vista Ultimate (32 bit) installed on an ACER 9410 Notebook (Core Duo
Processor). I purchased 4 GB of RAM and was NOT surprised to see just over 3
GB. What was a surprise is that anything over 3 GB of RAM disables the
wireless communications, both built-in and external wireless adapter. The
company I bought the RAM from sent me a 1 GB chip which, added to the 2 GB
chip give me approx. 3,062 MB of RAM - just enough to knock out the wireless.
When I install a 2 GB chip and a 512K chip, the resulting 2.660 GB of RAM
does NOT conflict with the wireless.

A friend has heard of this problem and seems to think it's fairly common
knowledge but I can't find anything on the internet about it.

I realize from reading other posts I can never get 4 GB but is there a fix
or workaround so that I can install the max. 3GB (which registers more than
3,000 MB) and have wireless, too?
