is it possible to upgrade the graphics? even though its integrated?

[wisetechie]

@alechen56 - Thats not possible I am afraid.

I was talking to a Dell support worker last week and I asked him about upgrading my RAM, he said that I had to purchase Dell RAM and no other manufacturer would be compatible, he said the system would reject it and would not work. I also have an Inspiron 1525. Can anyone tell me if this is true?

[wisetechie]

@Badmanashtray - thats absolute nonsense, please report the rep to his supervisor. Dell doesnt even make RAM they use kingston modules. As long as the frequency of RAM modules match and is within your system specified range, RAM will work , regardless the company. If you wanna know the kind of RAM 1525 needs, i will give u the specs.

Hi there. I already have 2GB on my inspiron 1525 laptop and its the same model which you have shown this video on. I would like to know the tech specs of the RAM to order. Thanks and I really appreciate your effort :D

[wisetechie]

@dannykaye85 - Welcome, The RAM specs are :

Memory DDR2 667 MHz SO-DIMMs

Memory min/max 512 MB / 4096 MB

If you have 1GB+1GB, then you will need to order 2 x 2GB modules to get to 4GB max.

Hello,

I have a 1525, and would like to upgrade over my current factory 1GB RAM. Since I do a lot of engineering design work, I figured 4GB would be great. Is there any reason I could not go from 1GB to 4GB? I understand my Vista 32-bit won't recognize ALL of the RAM, but should address 3.5GB. Will this be ok?

Thanks!

I have 4gb memory, with max 8gb memory on my dell. To upgrade to 8gb, will I need to buy a 8gb RAM or another 4gb RAM? Thanks for the tutorial!!

@jklsr55 no :( I still just have one 2 GB. I think I'm going to try it again though. I'll reply again if it works.

@enskyment

Did you find a solution to this? I have the 1+1 setup and want to do go to 2+2 as you did. But if it doesn't work...

[enskyment]

Hi, can you please help me? I bought two Kingston 2 GB DDR2 667MHz SODIMMs to equal 4 GB for my Dell inspiron 1525 and after I installed it like your directions in the video, my computer said that the installed memory exceeded the available memory. I took one of the sticks out and it's running on 2 GB now, but I want the 4 GB!!! What should I do?

Thanks for the video, my friend.

[ArcticInfinity]

Thanks man, wasn't sure if this laptop had dual channel or not.

[shamnesslolcat]
