Dell Inspiron 8100 - more than 512 MB RAM possible?
I have an old Inspiron 8100, which I like very much, mainly because of
the display (1600x1200). It is running the A15 version of BIOS, which I believe is the newest. The machine has two SODIMM sockets, but it appears that 512MB RAM is the maximum this machine will work with. I have tried several combinations: 256MB + 512MB, 512MB + 512MB but they don't work. Does anybody know if it is possible to get this machine working with more than 512MB RAM? -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway

Dell Inspiron 8100 - more than 512 MB RAM possible?
The Inspiron 8100 motherboard has a variant of the Intel 815 chipset, which
limits the maximum memory to a pair of 256MB PC133 SoDIMMs...
