    Hey All,

    I have a D420 that is running Windows 7 starter as the specs say the system maxes out at a single 2GB ddr2 sodimm. I upgraded the bios to the latest Dell v. A06 then tried a 4GB ddr2 sodimm and couldn't even get the system to boot. Put the 2GB back in and am up and running. Anyone had any luck with putting a 4GB sodimm in one of these. I appreciate any input!

    Thanks All,
