Dell Inspirion 2500 Memory

Feb 6, 2005 1:22PM PST

Hello - can anyone tell me how finicky Dell laptops are in terms of memory upgrades? This particular model runs PC100 and I want to take it up to 512mb. However, two sticks of 256mb seems to be quite expensive (I normally buy at Crucial.com).

In looking at eBay, there seems to be lots of this kind available, but didn't know if "anything goes" or if Dell laptops get picky about brand, model, etc.

Thanks.
