Are you sure? I searched for "inspiron 2600 RAM" and found lots of hits on

Thanks to you and all others who responded.
has 256 MB of RAM. I am of the understanding that the 128-MB
memory card under the little door on the bottom can be replaced
with a 512 MB card and that pretty much does it. There is another
128 MB block under the keyboard but I think for what I was
planning to do with it, 640 MB is sufficient.
From what I saw you'll need to do more investigating. It looks to me like
that model might be limited to 512M in total only in the form of two 256M
SODIMMs.
That is certainly a possibility. This version of the 2600
has one and only one socket under the door which is above and to
the right of the battery compartment and that card is presently
128 MB. I don't know yet if the other 128 MB of RAM is soldered
right to the board under the keyboard or if it can also be
removed when excavated.
My next task is to checkout Dell's web site. We did write
down the service tag numbers and all the numbers on the memory
module. It sounds like it is worth checking out how much of an
upgrade is practical with this system.
