Hello,
I have a XPS 420 with 4gb memory. Is it upgradeable to 8gb? Not sure as to the MB, how do I find out what it is? Any input is appreciated.

look at what it says on the ram it should say something like pc3. if it doesn't, look at the ram. if the notch is between the first 4 chips and the second 4 chips its ddr2. if the notch is somewhere between the first 4 chips its ddr3. the notch is much closer to center on ddr2.
