Memory

[Peter C]

I have a Dell Computer with 2 banks of 128 DDR memory. I have 4 slots can i
add more memory to the other slots. Example can i add another 512mb to one of
the other slots.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank You
Peter

Look at the Memory Configurators at www.crucial.com and/or www.kingston.com
which will tell you exaxtly what you have and what you can go up to.

Depending on the motherboard and type of memory (single or double bank), you
may not be able to use the 4th slot (or maybe not be able to used both).

Also, motherboard (all) usually "seem" to work better with the largest
memory stick in slot 1.

DDR has to be installed in pairs: you could add a pair of 256 MB
modules. Check the manual for any restrictions on what combinations of
size are allowed, but that should be OK
