well shoot, according to the dell manual it only supports 256mb, 512mb and 1gb per slot,, wrote the company I bought it from to see if they would cancel and if they have 4x1gb I could purchase..the machine maxes out at 4gb I did know that much before hand.

Anytime you need to check the memory configuration on any system you can do so below as ong as the system is bootable and has internet access.

Go to HERE and run the Crucial online scanner.
This will give you the exact memory configuration for your system.
You do not have to buy the memory from there, but write down the information and if you need assistance in purchasing the upgrade memory GTG can assist with suggestions also.
