Hi all,

I realized that the DSDTs downloadable from the sf web page work only 
for a given amount of physical RAM. I wrote S. about this to modify the 
DSDT section on the web-page with instructions how to fix this. I 
proposed the following:

   Check the number following the keyword "SystemMemory", 
   some are close to the total memory the DSDT is made for. 
   Just fix it such that the difference from your total 
   amount of memory remains the same.

Maybe somebody can tell whether this is correct. The problem is that for some DSDTs this obvious when the number is close to the total memory as stated above. 
Some other have a relatively small address, so I suppose that is counted from the bottom and does not have to be modified. Is this right? 

thanks,
hajo
