Hi,
I have a Dell Dimension 2400 (purchased from Dell in July 2004). I
want to upgrade the memory to the maximum but I'm having trouble
finding out what the max is. I'm currently at 512MB (one stick).
- The Dell manual that came with my PC says 1GB is the max.
- Crucial says 2GB is the max.
- The Dell website today says 2GB is the max.

If I can run 2GB, then that's what I will do.
Can someone tell me what the actual max RAM capability is on this
PC?
Has anyone successfully run 2GB in a Dimension 2400 from the year 2004
time period?
Thanks!
- Ted.
2GB... Ben Myers

Thanks everyone for your help. I'll go with the 2GB.

Does the manual say 1GB because back in 2004 the best one could do was
2 x 512MB? In other words, 1GB PC2700 SDRAM wasn't available? Just
curious.

Thanks!

Often, the manual for a motherboard or a computer states what is available at the time the manual was written. Then something new comes along and the manual (or even on-line documentation) is never updated.
