Question:
Installing Ram on an Inspiron 6000
I'm trying to help a friend install Ram on their Inspiron. Is there a spot on the bottom that it fits in, or does the keyboard need to be replaced. I know Dell's are a bit cranky with changing stuff in them sometimes. Is there a specific brand recommended?
Thank you in advanced.

There is a slot underneath the system. You dont have to remove the keyboard.
Kingston, Crucial, and Corsiar are my favorite brands for ram. Something like this i believe is what you need:
Just pick the size that you want.

Don't forget to unplug your laptop and remove the battery before you operate on your laptop. Also, would be good to ground yourself by touching any metallic object before you do the installation.

Its very easy to upgrade the ram. Just follow the guide that kingjimmi posted, and it will walk you through the steps.
Just in case you aren't sure, the 6000 does take 200 pin DDR2. If you want to get memory from newegg, you can get any on the following link:
I've bought the Transcend 1gb-1 stick (price $67) from newegg, and haven't had any problems with it. Several users buy their RAM from newegg, and I haven't seen very many complaints on here.

I'm finalizing my config for my i9300 and looks like it would be best to only get the min. memory from Dell and buy 3rd party from Newegg- Thanks SouthernGirl?
But can I put 1gb stick in one slot and leave the a Dell 256mb chip? or does each slot need to be same?

Gilby, you can do that...but you won't be running with the DDR2 on both sticks...it will just run DDR2 at 256MB on each stick. But yes it is possible to do that.

i think what poster is trying to say is that if you have a 400mhz 256 chip and install another chip that runs at 533 mhz, the faster chip will downclock to 400.
please clarify if not.

Sorry, if I'm not too technical- so it would be best to have both chips the same to run at optimum speed.
Thanks!

I would recommend it...but if you want to save some cash and get 1 stick for now, that is good too, you shouldn't see that much of a difference considering you are putting in more RAM. The RAM that you are going to need is DDR2 PC4200 So-DIMM 200-Pin.
