Very much doubt it these days, some laptops used to use proprietary stuff in the dark and distant past. See what Crucial have to say, http://www.crucial.com/uk

All newer Dell PC's use Kingston DDR ram. However you can use any memory manafacture you like, as long as the speed is the same.
There was a batch of workstaions about 3 years that used special Dell RAMBUS memory but thankfully that only lasted about 6 months
See here for a Kingston memory locator.

We use Crucial memory in our Dell GX260, GX270 and Dimension 4500 desktops (100+ of them) and I've not blown up one yet.
We have their Gold support and Dell have been happy with me replacing bits 'n pieces. They usually just ship me the parts so I can do any repairs when it's convienient for me rather than when the Engineer turns up.

I had a Dell Dimension 8100 what a nightmare I had with getting new memory... It was something called RAMBUS and Dell are crafty because they are all custom builds and no other parts will fit.
Dell could not supply the memory at all... a private dealer wanted £160 for 2 256mb chips.... I spoke to quite a few people and they all said sell it on.
In the end I simply sold it on and had a mate build me a new PC which is fully interchangable for any manufacturers parts.
I hope that helps you

I have a dell inspiron 6000 laptop. It only had 256MB of RAM as standard so rather than pay Dell for an upgrade at silly prices I bought an additional 256MB from crucial for about £30.
Its been fine, no problems at all. Highly recommended.

We upgrade all our Dells with Kingston memory when they need it they come in matched pairs so work well together.
