Mod Asus G1 (original version) BIOS to support 4GB RAM

Hello there,

I've been doing a fair bit of reading over the past couple of days on modding bios and I've got to the point where I need some helpful advice.

I have an Asus G1 laptop and have upgraded it to 2x2gb of RAM. Unfortunately, the BIOS does not have the option to "Remap Memory" ie it doesn't support Physical Address Extension (PAE). The hardware itself is however capable of supporting the full 4gigs of RAM.

I would like to modify my BIOS to make this option available, however what I need to know is if such a modification is even possible? Has anyone got any experience of modding BIOS to make such options available, or any other advice they think would be useful?

Thanks
Confy

I too just ran into this limitation. I installed 64 bit Win7 and upgraded to 4GB of RAM to only be shocked to learn the limitations of the G1 BIOS.

I don't know if it is possible to mod the BIOS to add the capability, but I'm hoping it is and would like know either way.
