Product: Presario C700
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I want to install Win 7 x64 on this machine which is BIOS limited to 2BG RAM.  Is there a BIOS update that allows for 4GB RAM or more?  If so, where may I find it along with installation instructions.

 

Many thanks!

Hi:

 

If you look at the BIOS revision history info at the link below, you will find that unfortunately, none of the BIOS updates add support for 4 GB of memory.
