Intel's site has info on the 945 chipset and it says 4GB is possible, but howcome dell only limited to 2gb? Have anyone have solution or have tried this before? Or running their 6400 with 4GB? Thanks.

To Answer 1:
What you are saying is that no way you could run 4gb on that dell model because of its limitation? Thank you.
Just would like to know if anyone try putting a 4gb into that model and does it work?

I'm running 1GB on the Inspiron 6400, 32bit OS XP. And still the RAM aren't really sufficient. Probarbly 2 GB will works. 3GB will be much better? Do you know if i can put a 1x1gb & 1x2gb on the duoSlot? Thx//

Dell do not ship "original" boards, they build their own, so YES it's very likely they could have limited what it can do.
The board will be BASED on that chipset, but they might not include ALL features.

4Gb in a 32bit OS is just a waste of money. About 750Mb will just sit useless in the upper memory hole. 1Gb is fine for XP and 2Gb for Vista.
