Adding additional RAM to D510

Question

I am recieving my new computer Monday, a D510. It is coming with 1GB of Dual Channel ram (DDR2), and I would like to add additional memory. Does it have more than two memory 'ports' to place more RAM? And does it have to be in pairs? I have two sticks new of 512MB DDR2 Ram and would like to know if I can add that into the computer?   Thank you

There are four memory sockets, which should be evenly populated for best performance. Message Edited by ejn63 on 02-25-2006 11:22 AM

Aponizuma: I suspect you may have inadvertently gotten into the wrong board. I believe the original poster typed the name wrong and has an Dimension E510 desktop, not a Latitude D510 laptop.

If you have a D510 laptop, you may have better luck posting in the Laptop General Hardware Forum:
