My 512 slug - Kingston cost a grand total of £31.16

You posted while I was typing!
You'd need to take the 512K out and repalce it with a 1GB module if it was supported.
I could almost guarantee you that what Crucial says will be correct (if it isn't they'll refund you). However some pages have a "not to exceed manufacturer supported memory" which means that, while the motherboard would support 1GB, the manufacturer's particular configuration won't allow it.
I can honestly say that I've never had a problem with Crucial and would happily recommend them to anyone.
Edit: corrected main paragraph.

Crucial wouldn't have shown you a 184 pin version as is wouldn't be compatible with your PC! (How could they guarantee what they showed you would work otherwise!)
512MB is probably the max your computer will accept as an upgrade but without seeing what the site said I can't tell.
Could you post a link to the scanner results page?

http://www.crucial.com/uk/systemscanner/viewscanbyid.aspx?id=D925E36A31D926C3
and here is the memory advice from the search of Dell Inspiron 2200
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=Inspiron%202200
As you will see, it says there are no slots available. (!)
quote
Maximum Memory: 1280MB
USB Support: 2.x Compliant
Standard Memory: 256 or 512MB (256MB non-removable)
Slots: 1 (1 bank of 1)
All memory slot(s) are filled, some of the existing memory must be removed in order to upgrade.
unquote
that is why I was confused by the reply to my email.... and the subsequent posts on the forum....

That photo was an empty slot, so just buy the 512.
If it doesn't fit or work send it back, you've nothing to lose.

The Crucial scanner seems to get a bit confused when there's memory soldered to the board. It correctly reports that you've one slot available but thinks the memeory already fitted is in it. Once you upgrade the "Available Memory Slots" will show as -1 and you'll have a picture showing two filled memory slots! (See the results for my Viao laptop after upgrade - it has one soldered 512MB module and a 1GB upgrade - and before.)
