Hello,
I just purchased a Gateway DX4860-UR32P PT.GCCP2.016 from Tiger. This came with Win7 64 Home Premium and i52320 CPU. It has 6GB of GDRR3-1333 2GB 128MX8 chips in 3 of the 4 slots. These are made by Unifosa in Taiwan. The part no. is GU512303EP0202 and they are supposed to be fully buffered. What is my low cost way to increase the memory to 12 or 16GB? Can I take out the chipset in slot 3 and replace it with a pair of 4GB unbuffered chips in slots 3 & 4?

I have a Gateway DX4850-27e that came with 6gb's of the same ram, just configured a little different (two 2gb and two 1gb sticks). I replaced them all with two sets of G.Skill F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT and everything runs ok.
