Total Memory allowed for this model: 1024MB.  Adding the maximum amount of memory will improve performance and help extend the useful life of your system as you run increasingly demanding software applications in the future.They do not have to be in matching pairs.  You can install modules one at a time, and you can mix different densities of modules in your computer.  This computer does not support dual channel memory.  This system does not support ECC memory.  ECC and non-ECC modules should not be mixed within a system, install the same type of modules that are already in your system.<big>'''!Warning! The Dell 16 Chip Issue'''</big> There is a memory upgrade issue some users are reporting with this laptop.  The solution is as follows... Here's the reason some memory cards won't work in Dell's Inspiron 1100 and others will. Count how many chips are on the card. Divide the card's memory capacity by the number of chips. If the result is more than 32 MB, it won't work! The designers assumed that no chip on a memory card would ever have more than 32 MB.If you have a 512 MB card with 8 chips on it, it will never work. The only ones that do work are the ones with 16 chips.The 1100 hardware design also has numerous other problems which are described at http://www.lieffcabraser.com/dell-inspiron-3.htm .'''Other Memory Issues:''' Dell tech support advised to use PC2100, not PC2700.  With a BIOS upgrade PC2700 may be used.Try PNY DDR SODIMM.[[Category:Tangible Product]]
