    With these new notebooks able to support 4 Gb of RAM... does it now have 4 memory slots or does it just have two?

    They have 2 slots/sockets so to get 4gb you need to get 2 sticks of 2gb and a 64bit OS so that you can see/use the full 4gb. BTW i think one of the slots in E1520 is under the keyboard and the other is on the the bottom.

    Look in the HOT Ram deals thread for great prices when you decide to upgrade(you probably dont need 4gb now).

    If you have the money and are using Vista then I'd suggest you get the 4 GB. But only if your running 64 bit. Definitely don't buy that much RAM from Dell though, otherwise you'll be spending twice as much as you should.
