[SOLVED] Has anyone ever put 2GB of memory in a Dell Dimension 8100?

[Mimitchi]

Don't know if I'll be able to get an answer for this due to the age of this computer (mine's going to be old enough to legally purchase alcohol this year!) but I was wondering if anyone could vouch for whether the Dell Dimension 8100 actually supports 2GB of RAM.

If you do a google search for "dell dimension 8100 max memory" you get scores of sites saying the max is 2GB, but if you go on Dell's website and pull up the service manual they have on there it says the max is 1GB. I want to upgrade mine to the max it'll take and I'm hoping it's the 2GB but I don't know if I'd be blowing my money buying 512 RDRAM sticks that I can't even use.

So basically I'm just wondering if anyone remembers actually trying it and knows if it'll work.

that board is using intels memory controller, here you can see memory controller support

The desktop boards have four 2.5 V memory module sockets that support RIMMs containing
Direct Rambus DRAM (RDRAM) devices.
The desktop boards support the following memory features:
• Maximum of 32 RDRAM devices per channel
• 128 MB (minimum) to 2 GB (maximum) onboard capacity utilizing 128/144 Mbit or
256/288 Mbit technology
• Single- or double-sided RIMM modules
• Support for PC800-40 compliant RDRAM with 533 MHz front side bus (FSB) operation
• Support for PC800-40 and PC800-45 compliant RDRAM with 400 MHz FSB operation
• Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
• ECC and non-ECC support

This sounds like the answer I wanted, thank you!

Wonder why Dell couldn't tell me this in their official material.
