Hello Everyone,
I have a Inspiron 1300 laptop and I recently changed the Memory Module from 256 MG to 1 GB and all is well.. I read in the manuel somewhere (a long time ago) that the maximum memory was 1 GB which is why I stopped there..
I have since heard and read that some folks went up to 2 GB without any difficulty or issues. Now I don't know if, for what I use the laptop for, I would ever need anymore memory but I do have this perfectly good 256 MG Memory Module just laying there and was wondering if I would experience any issues should I put install it in the other slot??? Has ANYONE gone over the 1 GB with the Inspiron 1300??
Would appreciate any input on this.. Thank You!
LarryTo double check this consult your Owners manual...if you cannot locate it it's probably AVAILABLE as a download at the manuf. website...just ENTER your machine ID and go to the support/download section.
Another OPTION would be to travel to crucial.com's website where they have an extensive database on what type of RAM and how much a machine will use properly...

I wouldn't go on just heresay that others have done it and risk possible damage to the machine.
Good Luck...Hello,
Thanks for your response. I checked the site you posted and it said 2048 MG (2 GB).. but just to be on the safe side I browsed throught the owners manual, found the spec's and the spec's said;
2 GB (Pentium)
1 GB (Celeron)
With that info and I have the Celeron M and probably not needing more memory than the 1 GB, will leave well enough alone and use the extra module for a backup if needed in the future.
Again, thanks again for your help..
