Hiya I was wondering how much ram could I have in a dell dimension 5150 as I have one for a retro gaming pc but it has no ram and I wish to have as much as I can thanks in advance ??

if you have an X64 version you can use up to 4 gb ram.

"Upon some research, I see that the introduction of the Pentium 4 back in August of 2000, also introduced us to northbridge chipsets from intel that were capable of a maximum of 2GB of RAM. So it looks like I'm correct. There's 21 chipsets (give or take) that are for pentium 4 based systems, and they all appear to support 2GB of RAM except the 845MP, which looks like it was only 1GB, but it was also for laptops."

Thanks for the help, but I still need a hard drive and I was wondering if you knew how I could see if it's a x64 version
