System specs
I recently upgraded my memory in my dell inspiron 1100 and used 2 sticks of 512mb DDR DIMM PC2100 133mHz. This added a gig of memory which is the most you can put in it. I did alot of research first and this was the memory that was compatable. Also extremely easy to install yourself. Good luck I hope it works for you. Also If you plan on doing anything with it you might want to upgrade your harddrive since it only has a 30gig harddrive in it standard.
