    Every Dell notebook I've owned has used Hynix... but I can't speak for what yours would have.

    Brand wise they will use what ever is cheapest at the time of build. So you never know.

    use what is listed. Corsair or G Skill makes ram that works fine. Go to www.youtube.com and check out the video at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7R5VYsdxIg it is very simple.

    find ram at

    www.newegg.com
    www.tigerdirect.com (or .ca if canada)
    find best option at tomshardware.com and it will tell you where you can purchase it
