I'm running vail and I too am interested in upgrading to 4gb ddr2 6400 or ddr2 5300.

I've successfully upgraded to 2gb ddr2 5300.

I recently found a good deal on a 4gb stick of ddr2 5300 and tried it but the lx195 will not boot. It turns on and hangs with a red health light.

Does anyone know if it possible to run 4gb? Perhaps I have a back stick or maybe should be using ddr2 6400.

Some of the specs for the lx195 say 4gb max and other say 3gb max. However, finding a single stick of 3gb is very difficult. Also, some specs say the type of ram needs to be (HP's website included) ddr 5300. However, the original HP ram I removed from the unit was ddr2 6400. Are these two types interchangeable?

I believe there is a RAM limitation of 2GB with the LX195. This limitation comes from the processor inside the LX195--the Intel Atom 230. Intel does not want their low-cost netbook processors (Atom) to compete with with high-end processors (Core2 Due, Core2 Quad, Corei7, etc) so they put a limitation on the maximum amount of RAM. This, of course, is an educated speculation.
