Dell Vostro 1510 memory (RAM)

Hi,

Hope someone can help with this. Just bought a Dell Vostro 1510 notebook - does anyone know if this takes the same memory as the 1500? - would like to put an extra 1GB RAM in. I have tried e-mailing crucial and dell but they're not very helpful in the slightest.

Thanks in advance, C82

    I would assume DDR2-667 SODIMM.

    Example here.

    I would advise you to email the seller beforehand to guarantee compatibility, as it is not clear if low density memory is indicated.

    According to the website http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/ The memory type is the same. I have used these guys many times so if you need to buy memory give them a try.

    Go to the Dell support site, enter your Service Tag: http://support.euro.dell.com/support/topics/topic.aspx/emea/shared/support/root/en/product_support_central?~ck=ln&c=uk&l=en&lnki=0&s=gen

    Then you should be able to view the config and see the type to RAM it has installed and will take.

    You'll probably get good prices from Crucial.

    My girlfriend owns a PC repair company (not telling you which one though!), she'd never use anyone other than Crucial. The support staff are excellent, and if you do buy the wrong kind, you just send it back to them and they give you a swap or a full refund. If only all hardware companies were that good.
    If you're running Windows, have you tried using their system scanner? It's on their website, and includes lots of models the website doesn't.

    If you go to Crucial, first put in Dell 1500 and then again with Dell 1510 it will show the memory type needed by each laptop :)
