    I can’t fing the 320GB version of this laptop anywhere.

  • http://laptoping.com Administrator

    The 320GB is achived by using two 160GB HDDs. Maybe there is no preconfigured model with 320GB. Acer only says the laptop supports up to 320GB. Regards.

    I can’t find any reviews on this machine that say much about it’s TV performance, and the only one I did find said he tried hooking it up to cable and didn’t get a very good picture, although he conceded that he wasn’t sure if he had connected it correctly. I called Acer Pre-sales technical support and they said that the machine does not have a coax jack for its TV IN, but rather some sort of universal jack that (with the help of one of the three adapters that ship with it) can be made to fit a coax cable coming from a cable box or satelite receiver. But without actually seeing the results of such a connection in person or at least hearing of someone that did it and got a great picture, I’m hesitant to drop close to $3 Grand on a machine that I’m not sure will perform one of the key functions for which I’m purchasing it. Can you help me here? Anyway that you can verify that this machine does indeed display a good video image when hooked up to my cable TV outlet? Thanks.

    I purchased An Acer Aspire 9810 20″ Notebook April 2, 2007 to enhance my 3D Modeling work with SolidWorks.
    They advertise that this machine supports 4 Gig of RAM. It does not. I purchased 4 Gig from Micron. The system only shows 3 Gig. The Acer Tech Support people told me I probably have a bad memory chip. I tested them. They are good. After a week of phone calls, I found out from 3 sources what the people at Acer failed to tell me. The 32 bit Vista Operating System only supports 3 Gig of Ram. (One of my 3 sources was Microsoft) I thought I would just install the 64 Bit Vista Operating System in a dual boot setup. Now I find out the Intel Processor in my computer does not support 64 bit. I still like my new computer but it is not all they advertise. If you have a solution, I’d love to hear it. In the mean time let the buyer beware. References to support for 4 Gig are simply not true.

    Matt, Is your CPU Core 2 Duo or Core Duo?

    Only Core 2 Duo is 64-bit. If you have Core Duo it can be MAYBE upgraded to Core 2 Duo. I know some Core Duo laptops need just a C2D and a BIOS update to become 64-bit.

    Along with 64-bit Vista you will also need 64-bit Solid Works in order to use more than 3GB of RAM when you run that application.

    I also purchased 4 gigs and cannot get them to work. Acer seems to be useless and said to buy other modules. Yet I have now gone through 3 RMA’s with the memory company. My bios read 3096 MB not 4+. This doesn’t make any sense. I’m using Windows Xp Pro Media Edition on an AS9810-664 Core Duo T7400. Can anyone assist?

  • Jared

    Drew- My friend your xp operating system does not support 4 gigs of ram as I imagine it is 32 bit. In addition, your processor is probably not 64 bit compliant either. You can just run your 4 gig and everything will be fine; your system simply won’t utilize all of it.
