I have an Acer 5102 Notebook with 2 x AMD-TL50 processors,
ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 graphics and 4GB RAM, 2 x 2GB sticks.
The ENE Card Reader appears to be sharing address space with the upper 2GB of RAM; because my system Blue Screens whenever I try to use the Card Reader with the upper 2GB of RAM installed. It is completely stable with the upper 2GB of RAM removed. I have used the Memory Diagnostic Tool to check the RAM several times and no errors were ever found. I've also swapped the positions of the RAM sticks with the same results; so this appears to be a memory mapping issue.
For XP and XP x64 it was necessary to load Chipset Drivers in addition to the display drivers. Is this also necessary for Vista and Vista x64? I've visited the AMD/ATI website and they have Display Drivers, South Bridge Drivers and the Catalyst Control Panel for Vista and Vista x64. Does one of these components contain the Chipset Drivers or is this an entirely different animal all together? If separate chipset drivers are required, where do I get them, because AMD certainly doesn't seem to have them and neither does Acer?
BTW, are there any power users out there capable of editing a BIOS to add features like Address Remapping? Would this usually require access to the Source Code?
