Hello everyone

I am buying a used Dell 4700 Dimension that was purchased new in spring of 2005. I is a 3.0 ghz Pent 4 with 512mb ram. How far can I go in adding memory?

Thanks jowlj

Hello jowlj,

I would say the maximum is 4gb.

The maximum supported memory is still 4GB. From Dell 4700 Manual:

Your computer supports a maximum of 4 GB of memory when you use four 1-GB DIMMs. Current operating systems, such as Microsoft® Windows® XP, can only use a maximum of 4 GB of address space; however, the amount of memory available to the operating system is less than 4 GB. Certain components within the computer require address space in the 4-GB range. Any address space reserved for these components cannot be used by computer memory.
