Vostro 1200 - Windows 7 64 Bit
This model and Operating System is not supported by Dell.
Remarks: This system might not run Windows 7 64 bit depending on the processor installed. Run the Intel Processor Identification utility to confirm.
It is recommended to upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM if it doesn't have 4GB already.

There isn't a Crucial Link for the Vostro 1200 at present. The memory from the Vostro 1400 should be the same.
Note I don't get comments on my wikies so you are best to either private message me by clicking on my name on the top right or start a new thread in the Microsoft OS Forum.
Always state model of Dell and Operating System including whether it is 32 or 64 bit when posting.
