Hey Guys-
I have a Dell Latitude D530 and I want to upgrade the RAM. Right now I have 1GB (2 sticks of 512)
According to my manual, it can take up to 4GB of RAM. However, I want to clear up whether Windows XP Pro will support that much. I would probably be fine with just 2GB...
Thanks in advance-
 
A 32-bit OS can address up to 4GB of memory. After devices have been mapped to the address space, the remaining addresses will be used for RAM. This is why users often notice a "missing amount" from the physically installed amount. If I were in your shoes I'd grab the 2x2GB kit. The OS probably won't be able to use all 4GB, but it will be able to use most of it, which is greater than just having 2GB in total.
I would probably be fine with just 2GB...
