Question : Problem: I need to know what to do with a Dell XPS 710 motherboard for new Ram for Windows 7

I have a Dell XPS 710          64bit Vista Ultimate
Motherboard:  Dell OUY253 A00
Bus Clock 1066 megahertz
Dell Bios 1.4.  05/07/2007
A 1 ghz power supply
(allowing 1.8v or 1.9v for Ram)  There are four (paired) slots allowing up to 8 gigs.
Maximum bandwith --  PC2 5300 (333 mghz).  don't think I can change settings.
What can I do, what do I need, where do I get -- RAM -- so I can run Windows 7 ??

According to Crucial, you can only install up to 4GB maximum of PC2-5300 memory in there (http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=XPS%20710).  4 modules may cause the electrical signal to become indistinct, and the system may slow down to compensate or crash.  2GB would be the safe amount to run, but you don't need a 64-bit OS to make use of that.
