i know the dell inspiron 1501 isn't supposed to handle 4G of ram but i keep reading that it can. You think this would work?

The specs say 2 GB is the max. You can check here (http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Inspiron%201501&mfgr;=Dell) or here (http://www.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/global/products/inspn/topics/en/landing_inspn_1501?c=us)

In the beginning when the Inspiron 1501 was put on the market AMD Chips were put in this particular laptop back in 2004, Intel didn't jump on the band wagon until a few years later. AMD chips are know back then to be designed to try to out perform more expensive Architectures,like Intel. Which means they will handle the max of 4 Gig of ram. But also some Techies have figured out in upgrading the Bios with the right firmware they also changed to a better AMD Chip and were able to get 8 gig of Ram. I know because my wife still has her 1501 AMD Dual Core she bought brand new from Dell in 2004, and I have upgraded the Memory to 4 gig. Works great. And I don't think it will be a waste of time.

The official specification of 1501 says that maximum memory is 2GB. However, people tested it with at least 4 GB. With 32 bit Windows installed (like XP, Vista, Win7 32 bit) the system will report 3.5 GB when you put a 4GB chip or 2x2GB chips into it.

YES. This laptop has either an i5 or i7 INTEL 4th Generation CPU and the spec sheet for this computer states that it needs DDR3L memory. Therefore, this is the correct memory for your machine. Just be sure to install equivalent speed modules (which these are). According to the SPEC SHEET, your BIOS allows for up to 32 gig of RAM. This machine was originally configured with 8 gig of DDR3L 1600 Mhz. RAM as a single 8gig module and there's only 3 extra RAM module slots, so fully configured, this machine can take up to four 8 gig DDR3L modules.

It supports the DDR3 Ram at 1333mhz, so it will not run this at full potential but it will run. The comp supports 16 gig, so it should have 4 slots, chances are you can keep the memory you have and add this, just make sure the memory pairs are slot 1 & 3 and slot 2 & 4. You'll also need to be running a 64 bit OS or it will only see 3 gigs of ram.

Hey Jean, according to this: http://www.cnet.com/laptops/dell-inspiron-1420/4507-3121_7-32486109.html review under specs 4Gb should work on a 1420 Inspiron.

If your computer is a Dell 8100/8200 this RDRAM [RAMBUS] will work. I suggest you purchase these 2 sticks, 2x512, to achieve your goal of 1GB memory. If your computer is something other than the previously mentioned, you will have to supply more information to determine the specific RAM you will need.

Yes, it can. 8GB is the maximum amount of RAM it can handle. It only has one (1) memory slot, so you have to buy an 8GB memory card to replace the 4GB card you currently have. This would work nicely. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-1600MHz-PC3-12800-KVR16LS11/dp/B00CQ35HBQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414690087&sr=8-1&keywords=8GB+DDR3-1600+low+voltage+%281.35V%29+SO-DIMM+Memory

This desktop will take 32G of ram, i would like to see a little laptop that will do that.

Yes I would like todo it, so I bought a memory card for 4 gb and not working becouse my laptop dell xps 14 use 1 slot memory only. and I need to buy 1 memory card for 8 gb. I can change my bought memory ram for 1 memory card for 8 gb.

It would depend on the BIOS, but by default it is usually 512mb, and for laptops, as far as I know, there is no way to try and increase this, as the gram is relient on the ram in the system. Basically meaning that if you have 4 gigs of ram in your laptop, the os will only see 3.5 in your case.

Inspiron 6400 uses ddr2-533 built-in ram. This ram is also ddr2 ram. It should work.

It will run pretty well. There's a video on youtube with someone running it with only 1GB of RAM and it's fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykH-zUcPJw

Sir what are you running as in window wise and what kind of dell is it alien ware there is a ton that take different ram ?

Check out Crucial.com and browse to Dell &gt; Dimension &gt; 4600 and you'll find exactly what type of memory you need. Check Amazon's price though, they may be better than crucial.

Hi Cet, There weren't a lot of computers that were built to accept the DDR2 4GB module. Being a rare part, it is quite expensive. ***Please verify that your machine can take a 4GB module before purchasing.*** I have included a link below to the 4GB DDR2 module. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4DTZT2 Thanks, Trish Customer Care Arch Memory

Yes. Yes it can. Running 64gb of ram and glad it can take full advantage of it

2 years too late. This laptop actually supports up to 16 GB of ram. Assuming that it is indeed a Dell Inspirion 15 (3521). I have no idea where that RV 10000 name came from. You cannot even find that on Dell's site.

It should those 800Mhz memory modules were in production back then, yet if your cpu is fast enough and the motherboard in the Dell supports them ; the 1066 Mhz memory modules might be a better choose to get instead. If you are after a faster system; why not get memory modules that will go the max speed it can go? They are only a little bit more expensive than the 800's are, yet are much more up to date than the 800's.
