According to our scan, your system already has the maximum amount of memory installed
Hi, I only have 1 GB Ram for Vista so that's pretty bad. I have a Vista Premium 32 bit Dell Inspiron 531. So I wanted to upgrade my RAM so when I wento Crucial.com's system scanner. It said: According to our scan, your system already has the maximum amount of memory installed. But then I go down and it says theres 0MB installed with 4 slots left. - *Maximum Memory Capacity:* 4096MB - *Currently Installed Memory:* 0MB - *Available Memory Slots:* 4 - *Number of Banks:* 4 - *Dual Channel Support:* Yes - *CPU Manufacturer:* AuthenticAMD - *CPU Family:* AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ Model 11, Stepping 2 - *CPU Speed:* 2600 MHz - Although the memory can be installed one module at a time, the best performance comes from using matched pairs of modules. So now I'm stuck and confused...that's why I joined this forum. -- lilazndood1 |

Check your PC manual to see what type of memory you need and the maximum
amount you can install. The last time I used Crucial it told me I had 4 memory slots when there are only 2 on the motherboard. Your system manufacturer knows exactly how many slots are on your motherboard and how much memory you can upgrade to. I would trust them to know better than Crucial -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

Obviously, the scan is wrong if you have 1Gig installed, and the PC is
working. Remember that Dell, in a lot of cases, uses non standard hardware and BIOS. "lilazndood1" wrote in message ... Hi, I only have 1 GB Ram for Vista so that's pretty bad.
