Maxing out the memory (RAM) on your Dell Mini is easy, cheap, and effective. Do it today! Frequently Asked Questions I thought the max was 1 gb? Why doesn't Dell offer it with more? - In order to ship the Mini with Windows XP instead of Windows Vista, there are... |

You would have to have a 64bit version of windows loaded. Or perhaps a linux distro of course. |

| Re: 2gb RAM Upgrade Guide So did anyone go with 4-4-4-12 ram? Can you confirm the timings? Faster is always better! Can you even adjust the timings in the bios? Thanks helm |

I have confirmed the timings using CPUZ. You cannot adjust any timings in the BIOS.

| Re: 2gb RAM Upgrade Guide well i decided to give this mod a shot since it was so easy and relatively inexpensive. the ram was easy to swap out, even a novice would be able to do it as long as they had a small philips screwdriver for the back panel. the mini booted up with no problems and recognized the ram immediately (corsair value select). not sure if i'm noticing any performance improvements but i don't use my mini for anything other than surfing the web - 1 window of firefox open with about 6-7 tabs. maybe its faster or maybe its just in my head!  |

| Re: 2gb RAM Upgrade Guide I found this while looking at the Kingston. It's at least a lot better price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820231202

| Re: 2gb RAM Upgrade Guide I am a bit confused about the speeds on RAM. I understand that the mini will run all ram at 533, but I do not understand the difference between say PC5400 and PC6400. What would be the advantage of 5400 vs 6400 or is this just a different type of ram? I am assuming I could pickup some PC5400 that runs at 667mhz and it would just be run at 533? |
