ACK.. Yeah that can bite. I managed to find some 512 sticks kicking around in the local pawn shop. Problem I found with them is that the Dell seems to be really picky. I went through 6 of the same sticks before f inding one that worked. They worked fine on the test machin.. just not in the Dell. Strange.

Yep, that sounds like Dell 
I'm in the process of assemblying a new desktop for me at home. Going with the Core i7. Got most of the stuff bought. Just waiting on ram and case.
