Adding computer memory

My Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop, which is extremely slow, has a ''standard'' (inaccessible) 126mb memory bank and a 256mb accessible bank. The service manual says ''maximum memory 512mb''. It's easy to replace the accessible card with a 512mb card, but will this do any good? (I don't know if there is a 256mb limit on the accessible bank.) Will I get an additional 128mb of memory, or what?

The only thing you could do is put in a 256MB module in the slot that you have access to. Only one socket is user upgradable. The second socket is only upgradable by a Dell service center. They would have to install a second 256 module to get you to the 512MB max.

What is the best SD card to use in the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series laptop?

there is no best. unless you stated.
what it is to be used for.(application, job, what?)
1: works (sure they do) but some huge ones do not work on really old PC or camera's.
2: or speed.
3: sizes, no job stated (usage) so no guess.

what you need we have no idea at all.
if saving video files speed matters?
if saving say only email, then small slow works ok.

your usage or applications, matter what you need.
they sell these at walmart, just buy one and be happy.

buyone $5, if not work take it back get another until happly.

Dell Inspiron E1505 Memory

Try a memory manufacturer website & plug in your computer:

PNY:
Capacity PNY Part Number Retail Part Number OEM Part Number 256MB Module 6432SDTYE N256X42OPT N/A 512MB Module 6464TDTYE MN0512SD2-533 N/A 512MB Module 6464TFTYE MN0512SD2-667 N/A 1GB Module 64A0TDTYE MN1024SD2-533 N/A 1GB Module 64A0TFTYE MN1024SD2-667 N/A

HD 'memory' is considered secondary or storage.
In <Control Panel>::<Add / Remove Programs>, it should give you some indication of the size of the programs, as will hovering the mouse over the folder in which the program is situated [not as reliable as it once was as many dlls are stored in windows folders].

Installing Memory

Hi

Yes, you can replace/upgrate the memory module under the keyboard.

Before you proceed, note that Dell Inspiron 2650 uses DDR200 3.3V SODIMM modules. Also, memory module capacities supported are 128MB and 256MB with a Maximum memory of 512MB. If the current memory installed is 128MB, you need to order 2x 256MB modules to replace/upgrade both memory slots. If the installed capacity is 256MB, you just need another 256MB for the slot underneath the laptop.

Check "Removing the Keyboard" for guide removing the keyboard to access the 2nd memory slot.

Read "Preparing to Work Inside the Computer" before committing to the above procedure.

Let me know how you get on.
