Alternately I could buy two sticks of 2G PC2-6400 to get the 800 MHz speed – if it really works that way(?). Amounts shown in italicised text are for items listed in currency other than Euros and are approximate conversions to Euros based upon Bloombergs conversion rates. I currently have 2G PC2-5300 and could buy another stick of the same kind. Which is correct? That may determine how I decide to upgrade. I chatted with a Crucial tech who said using PC2-6400 800 MHz rather than PC2-5300 667 MHz RAM would improve performance, contrary to your comment above that it will only run at 667 MHz maximum even if 800 MHz RAM is installed.

Green Cell Battery for Dell Latitude D531 D531N D820 D830 PP04X / 11,1V 4400mAh. As for whether a 64-bit D830 could really accept and use 8G RAM seems unclear. If I understand correctly a 32-bit op system cannot recognize more than 3-3.5G RAM. Some comments above about using more than 4G RAM (such as 8G) would only apply to a 64-bit op system. I didn’t notice this fact mentioned above. I note that Dell recommends in its D830 Service Manual, as does the Crucial instructional video, that after removing the battery you press the power button to ground the motherboard before doing any work inside. I then did the bootup without running Setup, and all seems OK except the calendar date and time were wrong – easy to reset from within Windows. I didn’t have any idea which to select, but tried the Diagnostic then aborted because it was taking too long.
When I booted up thereafter it warned that my date and time might be incorrect and asked to run Setup or a Diagnostic. No harm done except for a few heart palpitations.
I didn’t know what I was doing *before* I had read your tutorial and took out the hard drive by mistake. I managed to get my D830 taken apart and put back together without breaking anything.

Thanks for the helpful tutorial and discussion.
