Answer 1

Use the Crucial Scanner. They'll tell you exactly what memory you should get, how much and how you can increase it, and will give a direct link to buy it.

Hi Sam, Your Dell take DDR2 memory and is expandable to 2gb. The type of memory is the PC4200/533mhz system bus speed. You can buy from pc world but don't ask them to fit it for you, they will charge you £35.00 for a less than 10 minute job and it is so easy to do. Send me you email address on my 360 profile and i will send you a free "how to guide" to upgrade your memory

The max your PC will take is 4gig of ram 1gig in each of the 4 slot's, i use Komplett there one of the cheapest around and there delivery time is pretty good. I've included a link with the type of ram your PC is compatible with,

It's very easy to install, if you need any assistance mail me.

Answer 4

Hi;

Your Dell uses DDR2-667 or DDR2-800 RAM modules: http://www.dabs.com are pretty good & cheap: Make sure you have a spare slot for your new RAM or you'll have to take some out first!

Answer 5

i would try Crucial.com. They have very good quality RAM and provide a user friendly tool within their site to check your PC for the kind of RAM you will be needing. It then tells you exactly how much this will cost. I used this site to get my 1GB of RAM a few months back.

Answer 6

hi sam

the dell inspiron has a maximum memory capacity of 4gb ,and supports PC2-5300 ddr2 memory

the dell inspiron 530 has 4 x dimm slots and if you have the 2 spare slots then its just a case of using them,however if you have filled the 2g by using 4 x 512mb then you will need to sacrifice these modules and buy 2 x 2gb modules,this will be the most expensive method and you will have 4 512mb modules spare,however you could allways try and get some money back by selling them on ebay

for a good and cheap memory selection go to http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Memory/DDR2/DDR2+667+%28PC5300%2F5400%29/?p=cF9zdHlsZT1saXN0JnBfcHJvZHVjdHNQZXJQYWdlPSY=,aria have the best selection for memory in the u.k

for example for a OCZ 4GB PC2-5400 memory upgrade(http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Memory/DDR2/DDR2+667+%28PC5300%2F5400%29/OCZ+4GB+PC2-5400+Vista+Upgrade+%282x2GB%29+?productId=26604) you can buy this for just £52.82 inc. VAT and for ocz this is extremely cheap

ocz are probally the best memory manufactuer apart form kingston and corsair,and their quality is obvious with stylish heatsinks and low latency timings

also the Arianet 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM (http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Memory/DDR2/DDR2+667+%28PC5300%2F5400%29/Arianet+2GB+PC2-5300+DDR2+SDRAM+?productId=30175)is a good deal at just under£20,and for £40 for 4gb this is also worth considering

finally i am using these items as examples however i would recommend you visit http://www.crucial.com/ and run the online memory utility

this will scan your p.c and give you a report on what memory your p.c needs and also you can buy diretly from crucial themselves,however crucial tend to be quite expensive when compared to aria and other websites

also try my local p.c shop at http://www.moreton-tech.co.uk/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=21&cat=DDR2+Memory,speak to steve and remember to say i recommended them,i buy my memory from there and compared to other online retailers they are quite competetive

any problems let me know

good luck sam !
