Why I asked is that I ordered some ram on sale, 4G 800mhz (2*2G), after the rebate it was $9, when I got it I found from the web site the machine would take 4G but 4*1G and was bummed, now this may shed some new light and I may be able to use it. Thanks, Mike.
I wish I had had extra ram on the occasions that I ran into this scenario. One of two things is probably happening. (1) dell sources parts from all over the world and only cares about 2 things (a) the price being right and (2) will it work. There are a number of occasions where people actually got (more) of a box than they thought they did simply because dell was short of the bargain brand X motherboards and used a slightly better Y motherboard in its place. If dmidecode is right, then you may just get to use all your RAM ... ... of course (2) dmidecode could just be flat wrong... Post back and let us know how it comes out. I interested to know.
