Dell Vostro 1520 Upgrade Kit

This 4GB kit contains two 2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM modules built for the Dell Vostro 1520 notebook. Each stick uses a 200-pin interface and runs at 800MHz with CL6 timing. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the original system specification. It is a direct replacement for owners restoring or maximising this specific laptop model.

4GB Maximum Capacity Limit

The Vostro 1520 accepts only two memory sockets with a 4GB ceiling, so this kit fills the board completely. Each 2GB module uses 128x8 chips in a 2Rx8 rank configuration at 1.8V. Performance is adequate for period office tasks and light multitasking. The platform cannot address more memory or support faster DDR standards.

Matched Pair for Dual Channel

The two sticks are sold as a matched kit to enable dual-channel operation on the notebook's chipset. No heat spreaders are included, keeping the low-profile SO-DIMM form factor. The package contains only the two memory modules with no additional software or accessories. Compatibility is guaranteed for the listed model by Computer Memory Solutions.

Questions about this item

Will the 200-pin DDR2 800 SODIMM modules work in the second slot if the first slot already has a slower DDR2 stick?

The kit is rated for 800 MHz CL6 at 1.8 V; the Vostro 1520 will run both slots at the speed of the slowest module installed.

How can I confirm the 2Rx8 CL6 timing is active after installing the pair?

Enter BIOS or run CPU-Z and verify the memory tab shows 800 MHz, 6-6-6 timings and 4 GB total across two channels.

Does the package include only the two SODIMM sticks or are tools and a heat spreader supplied?

The box contains the two 2 GB SODIMM modules; no screwdriver, heat spreader or additional cables are included.
