Dell XPS 410 memory limit

[Pardus]

Helping a friend replace a mechanical hard drive to an ssd drive on a Dell XPS 410 with 2gb ddr2, windows 7 32-bit os. According to Dell website, this system maxes out at 4gb. However, dell forums are saying, by upgrading to 64-bit os, then it can handle up to 8gb ddr2.

Thanks.

According to the Dell forum posts, the system supports up to 8GB. Since, we're above that Dell says is the limit, we should probably go by what the chipset supports. I would just make sure the computer is on the latest BIOS available from Dell.
