Precision M40 memory upgrade to 1GB
Hi everyone,
although DELL does not support this, I want to upgrade my trusty old M40 to 1GB memory. I already have the modules but the system as it is does not accept them when installed. I am referring to two 512MB modules, type Kingston ValueRAM. The M40 runs on the last officially DELL-supported BIOS, namely A11.
Question is, can I upgrade to a later BIOS (like the A12 for the M50) and thereby get beyond the 512MB border of the A11 BIOS? Which BIOS version would I need?
And has anyone successfully done something similar?
TIA,
Carsten
