根据 intel ark 这个 U 支持 36bit PAE ,因此支持的最大内存应该是 16G ,
https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?3039-G53JW-XN1-Conflicting-info-on-*actual*-maximum-RAMAlot of ark.intel's stuff shows only what is supported (guaranteed to work), but not what actually works. Case in point: my core i7 2630QM chip was reported to support max 8GB RAM on ark.intel until a few weeks after I got my G74 (October 2011)...then in November 2011 that site changed to report the chip supports 16GB. But I stuffed 32GB into my G74 anyways, and it worked. The 2nd Gen Sandybridge i7 chips have IMCs that actually can do 32GB (
http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread...ghlight=2630QM) even though ark.intel reports them as actually only capable of 16GB max...
What I'm saying is that while 8GB *may* be the maximum reported by ark.intel, most of the previous gen i5s and i7s have IMCs that can address up to 16GB no problem (e.g. my desktop i7 860 can). So it wouldn't surprise me if the i5-460M could deal with 2x8GB=16GB of RAM. I haven't looked for 8GB sticks with 800/1066MHz speeds but if you find them and the retailer will allow a refund if they don't work, it might be worth a gamble...
