please provide the precise laptop model. you should be able to open up one of the compartments beneath your laptop with a screwdriver. it is usually the one with the largest door. then just slide the ram in. if it is pc2100/pc2700/pc3200 then it uses 200 pin so-dimm. laptops only have 2 dimm slots.

1. Open ur operation manual of the laptop, or visit DELL support website for detail explaination fr many common upgrades.

2. DOnt go fr cheap RAM, Buy RaM frm the best possible source, KiNGSTONis good.

3. BE very gentle while installing RAM, its easy n simple.

besides the location of the memory slots on the board, sliding the ram in is the same.
