4G, but bear in mind you won't see all of it.

I'd suggest getting 4GB (2x 2GB), even though you have a 32bit OS.

Whilst a 32bit OS can't use the full 4GB, it does use in excess of 3GB.

But more important than deciding the amount of RAM, is making sure you buy compatible RAM :emotion-55:

For that reason, I'd advise using the likes of Crucial's 'Memory Advisor Tool'.

Crucial RAM not only carries a lifetime warranty... they "guarantee" the RAM suggested by the advisor tool, will work in your Dell systems :emotion-21:
