XPS 410 ram ugprade question
I just went to crucial.com to order more ram for my cousin's xps410 which came only with 1gb 667
Anyways, even though I knew which one to get, just for the heck of it, i tried their system scanner to tell me which ram to get,
and the result said that XPS 410 doesn't support dual channel. let me quote what it said
- Maximum Memory Capacity: 4096MB
- Currently Installed Memory: 1024 MB
- Available Memory Slots:2
- Number of Banks: 4
- Dual Channel Support: No
- CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
- CPU Family: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz Model 15, Stepping 6
- CPU Speed: 2128 MHz
the rams are properly installed in pairs. one 512 at slot 1 and then another 512 at two slots down. Are we being fooled by dell or is something wrong with the crucial scanner?

Any of these will work:
Dual-channel DDR2 533 (PC4300), 667 (PC5300), and 800MHz (PC6400)

PC4200 and PC4300 are both DDR533, numbers are just rounded differently (8 x 533).
