how do i find out how much RAM my laptop can get?

Question

I have a Dell Inspiron B120 and there is currently 512 on it right now....

Answer 1

The only way to find out is to open it up and see how many slots it has available.

Answer 2

Contact Dell. You can find the specs on their website usually. FYI, over 95% of newer PC laptops can only have a max of 2GB of Ram, (2 - 1GB Ram Sticks, which is what I have at the moment.)

Answer 3

If you go to Dell's site, and find a past-models page, usually there is a listing of the hardware that comes with it, and the part on RAM it says 'upgradeable to' and a number of the maximum RAM allowable.

Answer 4

Belarc will tell you exactly what is in your computer. The one below it is a different version.

Crucial will tell you what you have in and what to get and how much. Also, it will EXPLAIN what and how to get memory too.
