Inspiron 1000 RAM Upgrade

[Rob]

I read a bunch of posts about the supposed maximum limit on the amount
of RAM a Dell Inspiron 1000 can take, eg:
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...iron+1000"+maximum+ram+512MB#501f55994c4dd8d3

I prevaricated for a while but eventually decided to bite the bullet
and bought a 1GB stick of RAM.

To my surprise it worked! The BIOS registered 1280MB RAM (256MB built
in + 1024MB on the chip). When I booted into XP it told me I have
1.18GB of RAM (I'm not sure why it's 1.18 instead of 1.25 but
presumably it's just an artifact of rounding).

I used 1GB PC2700 333MHz DDR SO-DIMM RAM from newegg:

The brand of my RAM is GSkill. ("We are GSkill. Great Skill in Memory
World!")

Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.

What problem would that be then?

Not knowing what "prevaricated" means?

I prevaricated for a while .....

And what, precisely, were you lying about?
