Now you're making me curious. I've just ordered two 2GiB SO-DIMMs and we'll find out in a couple of days...

Update
You were right: I am not able to get it to work with >2GiB of RAM. On the bright side though, it accepts DDR2 800MHz (PC2-6400) perfectly fine. Even a single 2GiB SO-DIMM is not problem. But with two of them, I don't even get a BIOS screen. No BIOS error beeps either.
I had mixed results combining a 2GiB SO-DIMM with a 1GiB SO-DIMM. Some times I didn't get a BIOS screen, some times it reported to have 2GiB. This could still be due to the mixed timing between the two: The 1GiB SO-DIMM is a DDR2 533MHz (PC2-4200), but that clock rating is screamingly expensive in 2GiB versions. So I'll stick with the 2GiB I have now. I would have like to have 3GiB, but beggars can't be choosers.

Thanks for your input, guys!

Went through the same thing with my TLA7012. Well you learnt something  now.  :)

Anyone tried to upgrade a Tek TLA7012 to Windows 7 and a newer Motherboard?

I did not succeed yet. I used a Gigabyte G41 and G43-Chipset Board with Core2Duo E8400 CPU, and installed Windows 7 64 bit. The driver for the Teklink Interface does not load correctly. Missing Resources.

With Windows 7 32bit the TLA application always complains about a missing visa32.dll, which is present in both system32 and the program directory.

Any hints?

I assume you installed and have running TEKVISA and didn't just copy the visa32.dll over? You may want to uninstall and reinstall TekVisa.

I didn't upgrade the O/S on my TLA7012 so I am really no help.
