I don't think it would be a good idea to do much upgrading there, if only for heat concerns. Also, to run the quad-core chips, you need a 8MB flash rom...and I highly doubt Acer bothered to use that for a dual-core that did not need it...so your upgrade options would probably be limited to a faster dual-core...assuming Acer has kept the bios remotely current. As for not booting with 4GB, have you tried each stick by itself, each in the socket that it would go into? If not, give that a shot...you might find that you have one bad stick of ram.
