Why this problem whit the memory speed??</blockquote> According to the specifications, your Dell Precision M65 laptop has 667MHz front side bus. Even if you install faster memory modules (800MHz in your case), they will run at 667MHz. That's why you see 667MHz in the BIOS. You see only 3.25GB installed because it's limitations of your 32-bit operating system (XP I guess). In order to take advantage of all 4GB RAM installed, you'll have to run a 64-bit OS. jaume,

Could be software related problem. Back up all personal data and try reinstalling Windows from scratch. Heiko,

I watched a video on Dell's website, but being able to read it was easier to grasp. I noticed one used indicated he dented his case trying to get the keyboard cover dislodged. I am concerned about that as well. Should we use a plastic/carbon screw driver. I used to have a couple of those to keep from pinching bicycle tubes when changing a flat, but have no idea where they are today. Thanks again. Thanks for this detailed “how-to”.

I opened up the back and discovered that the DIMM B slot is empty which would mean that I have one 2 gig DIMM in the DIMM A slot... when I ordered new memory from DELL they sent me two 2 gig (800MHz) DIMMs and it appears that the 667MHz DIMMs are not longer available. The question I have is, How critical is it to be using tow DIMMs rated at the same speed? Can I just install one of the new (800MHz) DIMMs into slot B and leave the (667MHz) DIMM in slot A?
