The RAM Capacity of an Inspiron 4000
Dell's Inspiron 4000 was released in 2001. As is standard with computers, each model requires a specific type of memory, with limits on how much can be used. Dell's Inspiron 4000 is no different, requiring memory that may not work in other laptops.

Type
-
The Dell Inspiron 4000 takes 144-pin PC133 SDRAM. Like other laptops, it uses SO-DIMM memory modules, which are smaller than the DIMMs used in desktops.
Slots
-
Like many other laptops, the Inspiron 4000 has two memory slots. Each slot can hold a maximum of 256MB of RAM. Pairs do not have to match, meaning you can upgrade one slot at a time or upgrade each slot with a different amount of RAM.

Capacity
-
As each slot can hold up to 256MB of RAM, the Inspiron 4000 can hold a maximum of 512MB. You never want to install more memory than the computer can use. Not only does it waste money, it may cause your system to become unstable.
