Dell drivers for windows 7 32 bit xps 12 install#
It may have been a simple support issue whereby they didn't want the complication of dealing with memory issues when customers install 4 GB and get only 3+ GB. With many other motherboards, you can install 4 GB and get a little more than 3 GB for use by the operating system after the BIOS reserves most of 1 GB for its own address space.ĭell, however, chose to disallow *any* memory beyond 2 GB in 32 bit mode. Dell support later confirmed that XPS600 motherboard reports only a maximum of 2 GB to 32 bit Windows 32 systems (XP or Vista). I recently installed 4 GB in my XPS600 with the same result. I would like to know, if it would be too costly upgrading to 64 bit and if I would not have problems with my installed programs or maybe a workaround that might work. I recently tried to upgrade my Dell XPS 600 to 4 RAM as I use Photoshop and other photo programs, but was told by the Crucial representative that my computer will only accept 2 RAM, if it is a 32 bit XP operating system.
Slot 'DIMM_2' has 1024 MB (serial number 75467B1B) Slot 'DIMM_1' has 1024 MB (serial number 75467B1F) Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600)ĭell XPS 600 Intel ® Pentium ® 4 CPU 3.00 Hz, 2.99GHxĦ40.02 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity These are the specification of my computer that I think are pertinent: My computer is running fine and I have no problems other than it's slowness running CS3.
I guess, if it is too expensive, I would just have to wait and buy another computer.
