hi there
I've a dell inspiron 530, i've upgraded my system to windows 7 64bit, i prevously had vista 32 bit, but my system upgraded without any hitchs, I currently have 4 gigs of ram it's ddr 2 667mz pc2 5300, I wonder if it is possible to upgrade my ram, and if so, how much will it upgrade to?
thank you

You can upgrade as high as your motherboard will allow - check here though for some thoughts before adding much more: possibly senseless upgrade, can I take advantage of it?
I run 8gb and have yet to go over 50% use
That model maxes out at 4gb with four 1gb dimms. Here's how the specs in one older cnet review list those for memory.

Technology DDR2 SDRAM
Memory Speed 667.0 MHz
