Probably not. I will ask them if they have a BIOS upgrade for this board.

Nate: On the Dell URL you provided above, I saw the below data. I see
the 2 GB Max, but they don't show using 1 GB DIMMS.  Not sure where
their error is. I will try to get their Tech Support on the phone in
the morning and ask about a BIOS upgrade and also if I can install
two 512 MB DIMMs or two 1 GB DIMMs.   Thank you!  Lanny
