Flashing a BIOS should be a last resort.  It may truly be required, but I'd try to get some more support directly from Dell, or this site, before you try it.

This is a good point, sometimes those support people throw wild SOLUTIONS at with without considering carefully what your situation is.............did you ever take out the RAM from your computer and look at the specs./info.  on them.......like I suggested I certainly AGREE!
I would  have thought that a job as seemingly simple and basic as adding ONE G of RAM to a 3 year old computer should not demand so risky a step
So first of all I'll wait til my replacement RAM stick arrives from the good folks at 4AllMemory.com

Then I'll log in and whine again

Thanks again GUYSYOU already ordered another RAM stick

Do you ever pull out the RAM cards and get the specs off of them??Block
Yes ..
THE vey first thing I did was check the specs on the 2 units already in the slots
And to get the compatiblity requirement /speed etc on a new one

And dont get all hot and bothered.
When I said I ordered a replacement I meant that 4AllMemory.com instantly offered to REPLACE the new(and probably faulty) 1 G stick I just got...
...at no cost to me Quote from: PS STEVE on June 04, 2009, 05:00:18 PM

You miss interpret my words......It would take an awful lot for someone who doesn't know me to get me pissed off, especially on a public Internet ForumI don't know, your pic looks kinda irritated to me  we're talking about somebody who has a stuffed bear for a daughter.

to me....that picture represents confusion...................if I was angry/irritated I would have used this: 


and yes BC, I have an imaginary daughter, want to make something of it? 
  THANK YOU TO ALL
I got a replacement 1G stick of RAM from the good people at 4ALLMEMORY.com
(got here in 2 days) and - following all your sage advice- put the new one in and it worked Grrreat !
So I'm now feeling emboldened and have ordered another G stick for the last clip
Then I'll be flying along !

Thanks again for all your help
Steve
