there's no need to bump a thread after a few hours.

you don't need to buy the same brand name

if you know your specs, just buy what you want

 

There or two different locations for RAM on several Dell laptops, the D620 being one of them (according to the service manual anyway). Since you purchased 1 module from Dell, they probably installed it in the location that is more difficult to access, underneath the keyboard. They left the slot under the bottom panel empty,making it easier for users to upgrade.

With that said, you don't need to buy the same brand of RAM when you're upgrading. I've been able to run in dual channel mode with different brands/sizes; however, if you MUST know the brand and specs of the installed RAM, you can just run a program called CPU-Z. You'll be able to get the above information, without opening anything up.

For future reference, here is a link to the memory section in the D620 service manual: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/latd620/en/SM/memory.htm#wp1084976
