According to the dell information "adding memory," it says to flash the bios after adding the memory. As you say the latest upgrade is A04. There are a couple of ways to do it, one involving floppy's, but the one I found to be much more simple is to download it directly to the desktop and then double click to install to the hard drive drive.

Memory Type:

PC800 or PC1066 RDRAM (non-ECC), 64-, 128-, 256-, and 512-MB non-ECC, Maximum support 2 GB for PC800, 1.5 GB for PC1066 PC 1066 (non-ECC) only on computers with a 533-MHz system clock speed

• Must be 40ns latency or lower!
