I bought my computer in 2007.

Memory

Looks like I need PC2-4200/5300/6400 DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs. This site recommends maximizing the memory in each bank. Also see this site.

Hard Disk

The default max capacity is two 500GB drives. I'm going to try to upgrade the BIOS to 1.0.13 to see if that ups the capacity to at least 1TB.

  • Upgrading Inspiron 531. Nice overall summary of upgrading a 531. Makes reference to upgrading the drives to 1TB, but no mention of whether he was successful.
