It looks like that my Dell Latitude E6400 has slots for DDR3, but could you guys confirm that is possible or not?

You cannot use DDR-3.  Your chipset does support both, but the mainboard doesn't - the sockets take DDR-2 only.

Latitude E6400

Memory Type: DDR2-800 PC-6400
Maximum Memory: 8GB
Slots: 2

Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400 with a maximum of 4GB per slot.

I see, so it means, the best choice for this e6400 is DDR2 800 right?

Hi Rolf.

I just bought 8GB (2x4GB) modules PC2-6400 DDR2-800 from MemoryTen but apparently my Latitude E6400 doesn't like them as it doesn't boot at all. I see the three small lockers on F4-F5 key blinking and nothing else happens.

Any idea ?

I also upgraded the BIOS to A34 but still the problem is there.

Thanks

Pietro

Not on a system that supports DDR2, no.
