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. Not sure if upgrading BIOS to 1.0.13 also boosts the capacity.

References

  • 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.
