I am not any sort of a computer wizard, just simple user. Journeyman Electronics Technician with about 64 years experience retired repair of laptops and desktops since about 1984 keeping my own systems working as best I can. Thanks to so many Forums on the net I have been able to do most anything to my systems as far as maintaining them in full operations with little difficulty. This forum seems to be a bit different than most and have had some difficulty with finding how to post.

Thanks to "DELL-Chris M" am now getting along a bit better and hopefully not presenting any problems for the Community Forum.

I have learned a bit about Dell's systems in they are very sensitive to any changes in the RAM, mine has NYNIX 2x2G 800MHz from Korea. Most I have seen on here are using different manufacturers. Could I install two (2) from Crucial and only 2G sticks in matched pairs at 800MHz? Was hoping to increase my RAM by more than just Doubling. Also could a SSD be used as additional RAM?
