How about if I upgraded OS to Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Or is it a limitation of Motherboard?

Also if it is possible to upgrade memory with new OS, can I replace graphics card? I'd be interested in doing that if I can upgrade memory.

Thanks!

It's a hardware limit -- not an OS limit.

No, you cannot replace the video chip.

Hello JimDaily,

The maximum memory supported by Inspiron N 5110 is 8GB (2X4G) irrespective of the BIOS version or the Operating System.

I am also curious to know what the maximum amount of memory a dell laptop can have too. I am also interested in finding low priced used dell computer parts. I found www.calhountech.com/dell-used-dell-refurbished-dell-parts.html and they seem to have great products, any other recommendations? Thanks for the help!
