Increase Maximum Memory? Dimension E510

I currently have 4GB DDR2 RAM (2x2GB) installed on my Dimension E510 running Vista 64.  I would like to take advantage of the two empty memory slots, but it appears that the E510 only allows 4GB of memory.  Is there any way to increase this amount?

Thanks in advance!

It appears not according to Dell's specifications, but Crucial does state the e510 supports 8gb [ 4 x 2gb modules ], see HERE

Based on our documentation <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> I would say no.

Thanks, gang.  That's what I thought, but I was hoping there was a work-around for either the Mobo or the Intel chipset.  :-)  I appreciate your answers.

Not to be beating a dead horse or anything but based on that documentation the Mobo doesn't support more that 1gb per slot....which isn't correct.  I'm a tad upset because Crucial told me the same thing about the E510, not only did I buy their memory, but I went for Windows 7-64bit.  Now I have 2 DIMMS of PC-5300 2gb RAM that I can't use inside the E510.  So, I too was hoping there was a way around this, and wondering how Crucial could be THAT wrong about this mobo?

 

Thanks
