Corey, I'm running XP Pro. Awhile back, Dell tech support said what 89macrunner wrote, XP supports up to 4 Gb but will only show 3 Gb in Setup.

89mac, when you wrote "doing enough to support it", is there a setting that needs changing after installing the extra 2Gb? I'll try the Delete/F10 tip. Now I'm wonder what mobo is inside. Maybe it shows in BIOS.

Thanks all. Sounds like I should instead stay with the memory type onboard and get 2 Gb more (for $110 vs. $40 of 4 Gb non-ECC).
