Inspiron 530 memory and forum problems
I have one of the non-slim Quad Q6600 530 models, and despite searching both here and Google, have come up empty regarding memory capacity.
The manual states that the vanilla 530 mobo will only take 4gb, however I keep seeing posts claiming success with 8gb in W764, variously quoting non high density memory, or a previous bios update that fixed a memory address >4gb problem. There is also the mobo variant.
Mine looks a cross between the 530 and the 530a, having both the extra heat sink to the left of the processor, AND a floppy cable connector like the 530. For what it's worth the paper mobo label says "A000".
Also, I can't get the forom up in IE8, only Firefox. It shows a server run time error page. As well as this, I've had to create a new account as the server tells me either my email address (not this one) doesn't exist or states that it has been used previously (my account).
If anyone can shed any light on any of this, I would be gratefull.
TIA

Both the manual and Crucial Memory (what we recommend for non-Dell memory) list 4GB for the 530. The a and b models are listed as 8GB.
Can't help you with the forum problem. However, I had a log on problem one time and had to delete all Dell cookies in order to get logged on. I'm using I.E.8.

You could reset your IE8 back to its defaults that may help. You will loose any personal settings. But it will also delete cookies etc. If you fancy giving that a whirl heres a link to instructions on how to do it. - http://www.mypchealth.co.uk/Win7Explorer.php

Thanks, but I know that's what is recommended. That's where I got the mobo variants layouts from :emotion-1: but I can't work out what board this is, as it seems to be a cross between two.
