Memory

You can increase memory up to 1 gigabyte (GB) by using synchronous
dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) dual in-line memory modules
(DIMMs). The system board
sockets on the system board. (DIMMs may either be error checking and
correction [ECC] or non-error checking and correction [non-ECC].
However, all DIMMs must be the same type of memory—either ECC or
non-ECC.)
When you add memory, you may install DIMMs in either socket. For
optimum operation, Dell recommends that you install a DIMM in socket A
first (closest to the processor) before installing a DIMM in socket B.

Installing DIMMs

computer and any devices, disconnect them from their electrical
outlets, and then wait 10 to 20 seconds before you open the
