Dimension 4550 General Questions
I'm considering purchase of a Dimension 4550 (currently own a 4100). I have a few general questions.
1. If the system is configured with 256 MB RAM, would that come as a single 256-meg DIMM, i.e. is there an empty slot for memory upgrade later?
2. How many PCI slots does this system have. The NIC is integrated, so only one slot would be occupied by a sound card. How many does that leave?
3. How many external/internal drive slots are available if the system comes with a single CD drive, 3.5" floppy and single hard drive?
Thanks for your help and any other suggestions.

-They usually use the smallest quantity/count for the specified memory desired, i.e., 256 MB = 1 256 MB module, but Sales could verify that for you.
-PCI connectors - four
-Externally accessible
two 5.25-inch bays (1 if a CD drive is included in the basic configuration)
two 3.5-inch bays (1 if ordered with a 3.5" drive, such as floppy, ZIP, etc.)

Yes, $478 before tax with a 15" LCD is very very good.
