looking to advance to 8gigs of ram from 4gigs on a dell inspirion 530s motherboard g33m02 (0ry007) bios 1.0.15 can be upgraded to 1.0.18 believe i need this upgrade to have 8gigs ram mother board is now in coolermaster mid tower with 500 watt psu ,e8500 cpu ,4gigs ram ,nvida gt 8500 video card ,7 120mm fans ... i believe the only reason the 530s would not take 8gigs is because of the power supply and bios upgrade to 1.0.18 ... all though i have the 1.0.15 bios and added the e8500 cpu with no problem ...but i do not believe even with my upgrades so far that i could add a quad duo core... almost forgot running windows vista ultimate 64 bit os

upgrading bios may freeze bios so not upgrading the g33m02 board does not support 8gigs of ram or the core 2 quad upgrade you need to have g33m03 board to have the 8gigs of ram and the core 2 quad check dell support for verifacation
