But Sony doesn't tell you that and I believe they don't want you to know. Their notebooks are (or at least were, don't know if it's still true) well known for being picky about what modules they accept while everyone else has managed to support nearly any standard DIMM. I can hardly believe that this was by accident since everything they do just shows so obviously what they aim at - ripping you off very thoroughly.
