    Not normally. Some Dells have a little hissy fit when you put extra RAM in and insist that you enter the BIOS to have a look and marvel at how roomy it all is in there and how bare everything looks and not much else really :)

    They do helpfully tell you how to do this and how to exit after playing with the echoes for a while, so it's not too much inconvenience in the end really.
