    I came back here to read other peoples reviews some saying it didnt work in their machines either and one who even contacted dell and was told that some earlier versions of the vostro 230 could not be upgraded


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This seemed fishy to me given that all of the documentation from dell says that this machine can be upgraded to 4gb

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i noticed that my vostro 230 had version 1


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Well id say thats an early version lol


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i went to the dell support site plugged in my service tag number chose drivers and software and sure enough version 1
