This will scan your system and tell you what kind of ram to USE and how much you can useFrom the documentation on Dell's site, it seems you can have a maximum of 4GB of RAM (1GB in each memory slot).
SUPPORTED speeds seem to be 400 or 553MHz DDR2.
Hope this helps.thanks a lot guys really helped me out
