Find model of your motherboard, go online to manufacturers site and read thru the specifications to learn what type and brands of memory they support. Most of the memory makers also offer compatibility information on their sites. Personally I find that Dell, HP and others make the computers so its impossible to upgrade from what they built. Depending on age of your's and the OS you may be better off with a new tower. XP Support ends in April 2014 so unless your upgraded to Win 7 thats another item to consider..... Good Luck

I was actually considering spending the extra $130 for another 2gb... Too bad it won't work. Thanks for the help!

Hello Yen, Yes, you can upgrade it. However, the two RAM slots on the computer are filled with the original memory cards (two 512KB PC 5300 SO-DIMM). To upgrade it to 2GB, you have to remove the two original RAM cards and replace them with two 1GB cards. So, the cost to upgrade this computer includes (or can be offset by selling) the two original cards. I checked DealNews.com and they show this type of card selling at US$66 each and up. Note that if you buy the computer preconfigured with 2GB RAM directly from Apple that you will be charged an additional US$175. (This would include installation, but you would not have the two RAM cards to sell.) Hope this helps.

This is server memory, I found out. If you aren't using a server, then you will only get 1 GB from each. The (Dell?) GX520 is a desktop, it will probably fit, but you will not get the full capacity.

My Dell ran so bad as it turned out there were 2 1gb chips. I didn't know there were 2 chips when I got the 2gb chip. I am curious if I might get another 2gb but with the 1 and the 2 chip, the computer improved a great deal. Like I said, take it to a computer person to help if you don't figure it out. They shouldn't charge much of anything for something so small.... if anything at all really. I had a problem at first, but somehow it all worked out by experimentation if I recall. That's all I know about this. :)

Corsair has a nice online tool for matching their memory products to most PCs: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/memory-finderYou might also want to go to dell.com support and enter your machine's Service Tag number (is on sticker on PC). They can recommend upgrade products. Hope this helps.

It can. If you go to memory manufacturer Crucial's website, and use the memory advisor tool, select dell 17R 7720, and it says you can upgrade to 16GB. Remember you only have two slots, so it would have to be 2 x 8GB memory sticks.

Yes. Any PC2-6400 / DDR2-800 200-pin SO DIMM SDRAM will work up to 2x2Gb for 4Gb total.

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

I was going to say go to the Dell web site but I just looked, their entire presentation of this model is aimed at the layman and doesn't really say much. under slots it only lists memory, call Dell or maybe look inside to see if you have a pci-e slot.

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.

Mr. Turner has the right of it. I haven't looked inside the case, but possible problems are not enough space for the new card, and not enough watts from the power supply. Then there is the hassle of upgrading the software drivers. It's not a good idea. It sounds like you want a customized unit. You can go through Dell or find a company that builds to order, or assemble it yourself. Be sure to check out any company that offers customized units. Often the cheapest is not a good idea.

yes you can.... just make sure you hane a least a Pentium 4 running your computer ans all the ram you can get, I bought this card and work perfect

Yes,with the caveat that you make sure bus (PCI,Ph I Express) matches the card. I am surprised that your computer is running Vista tolerablywith so little RAM,but congratulations.

Best bet is to contact Dell with your question directly. The kind of upgrades you're talking about are run of the mill. Most people sooner or later upgrade video cards, storage & memory but of course you need the right slots. The Costco version of this PC shows both enough of the right kind of slots & a big enough power supply (460W).

I usually sell my machines with 2 GB but can offer you an upgrade to 4GB free of charge
