Does anyone know how to upgrade the dell inspiron 2650 to 512 without having to go through an "authorized dell service center"? I installed a 256 sodimm in the main memory slot under the keyboard and everything is fine, but it will not boot when I put another 256 in the "end user accessible" slot. It only accepts a 128. It's got to be some simple switch or something. Anyone?

No, I got the 256's from Crucial. Actually, I think it may be a bad module. I tried one and it seems okay, the other will not boot. It also may be a BIOS issue, but I'm sending the one back for a replacement. Hopefully, that is all I will need. thanks for the reply.
