You need to tell us what motherboard you have and then we'll be able to confirm if 2GB modules will work.

The motherboard is a Dell G45A01

According to these threads it should work: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19255828 https://www.windowsbbs.com/threads/want-to-upgrade-dell-vostro-420-ram.88387/

Officially it isn't supported by Dell, but if your system is a Vostro 420, then Crucial sell compatible modules: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Dell/vostro-420-tower Confirmed working: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28100480/Maximum-memory-for-DELL-Vostro-230-410-and-420.html

Fortunately SSD compatibility rarely is an issue.
