How much memory can I reliably put in a Dimension 4300.
Currently have 512, but installed Win7 & need more. I know there are a bunch of this same question floating around, but the most recent I could find was 2008. I don't even think they had 1GB DIMMS then. I know Dell published a max of (2) 256GB - (512 total) and Dell is not going to contradict that spec, even though it was published 11 or 12 years ago. I sure don't think there have been any technological advances since then.
I need someone to respond who has actually succeeded with 1 or 2GB. Must be reliable. Cash is REALLY tight, so I can't afford trial & error.
Been using an Inspiron 1525 that crashed & burned several days ago. All settings & data were backed up. NO LOSS! but I need to get something going.
I installed Win7, which seems to work ok, but v-e-r-y s-l-o-w.
ALSO: If anyone has some used 1GB sticks with the following specs, you could save my life.
Architecture SDRAM PC133
Memory connectors two
Memory capacities 64-, 128-, 256-, and 512-MB non-ECC or ECC SDRAM
Minimum memory 1 64 MB
Maximum memory 512 MB
Memory type PC133 (non-ECC or ECC)

Hi I51040js14,
You can run 2x512MB according to Crucial. You'll have better luck looking on Ebay for PC133. I'm seeing 2x512MB modules for $15.
