It is either incompatible or faulty. Incompatible if the seller was inaccurate in his description. Faulty if you get the 1-3-2 beep code with either DIMM in the first slot. However, before contacting the seller, you might try clearing the NVRAM using the jumpers on the motherboard and making sure your BIOS is up to date. I believe 4GB DIMM's were supported from the very beginning, but if it is at a very old version, then it is possible that support was added after the fact.

A07 is the latest. Get it from http://support.dell.com/. I'd give you a direct link, but the link depends on what OS you have installed (if any), etc.
