XPS Gen 2 Memory upgrade

Hi bmoremu, This link HERE is to your manual. As to your question, Yes. Memory capacities  128-, 256-, 512-, or 1-GB non-ECC. The max memory is 4GB. When you install memory they can be in pairs of 1GB and 512MB, but, you must keep to the same MHZ-DDR2 ram. Or your system will run with the slower ram. The type of ram needed is 400- and 533-MHz DDR2 unbuffered SDRAM.

To which question are you answering 'yes' - I can just buy one 1gb stick to addon to the existing memory or I need to buy two 1gb sticks and replace the existing memory.

Thank you for the manual link.

Hi bmoremu, Yes, just add 1GB stick of ram to your existing memory.

Hi All, I have a XPS Gen 2 and I tried to install 2 x  PC 2 6400 2GB 800Mhz sticks of RAM. But once I installed both the PC wouldn't post. I want to get 4GB of RAM on my XPS Gen 2 running Windows XP. 

has anyone run into this problem and know what the solution is.

If so you can post here or e-mail me at <ADMIN NOTE : Email id removed per privacy policy>
