    I have the 32 bit is with 8 gigs of ram installed so I don't know what you are talking about when u said you can only use 3.25 gigs anyway

  • @TheExpertsBP - Windows will display the amount of RAM you have installed, BUT that does not mean it will use all of it. A 32bit OS will only use up to 3.25GB of RAM. To make use of the rest you need a 64bit OS.

    Just because Windows shows 8GB that doesn't mean it is actually using the full 8GB.

  • wait im confused. im not a computer wiz but i want a 4g upgrade for my 1545. I currently have 3g worth of ram. So i get get 4gb upgrade does that mean im combineing my current ram with the 4g upgrade making me have a total of 7 gb of ram? or do i only have 4....

  • @mkakiler - No. You are better off just buying a 2GB stick, remove the 1GB module you currently have and replace with the 2GB, totalling 4GB.

    Bear in mind if you are using a 32bit Operating System, it will not be able to use more then 3.25GB anyway. To use more you need to change to a 64bit OS.

  • Hello. Great video i followed everything and now it says:"No Boot sector on internal hard drive. No bootable devices strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility

    Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics !! HELP PLEASE ?

  • @SongsChipmunkVersion - you need to install your operating system.

  • What is the limit for the best processor you can get on inspiron 1545?

  • Okay I'm on 64 bit operating system, with 3GB Ram, How much can the Dell inspiron 1545 hold? Because I can't find it anywhere? If it can go up to 8 that is great :D

  • Cheers for the video. didnt realise how easy it was going to be to upgrade the ram.

  • @hamoudeish for one upgrading to 512mb would be pretty pointless, but if you wanted to it would be impossible / highly impractical

  • @mkakiler 1gb on board slot1=2gb most have a slot 2=empty. mine has DDR3-Tony
