Are many compatiable???
I upgraded once a few years back, but with technology growing, I think it is time to do it again.
I've got a Dell Dimension 4600 and currently have 2 sticks of 256 and 2 sticks of 128......but since I forgot the specs/type I need on the RAM, I scanned at Crucial and got this: Maximum Memory Capacity: 4096MB Currently Installed Memory: 768MB Available Memory Slots: 0 Number of Banks: 4 Dual Channel Support: No CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel CPU Family: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Model 2, Stepping 9 CPU Speed: 2394 MHz with the recommended RAM Package: Module Size: 1GB kit (512MBx2) Package: 184-pin DIMM Feature: DDR PC3200 Specs: DDR PC3200 • CL=3 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR400 • 2.6V • 64Meg x 64 http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartsp...1EC373A5CA7304 There are bigger sticks, but I think 1gb would be sufficient for my purposes. SO.....with that being said, would ANY pc3200 work???? Like this??? PNY® 512MB PC3200/2700 Desktop Memory. It is on sale for $40/stick at Comp USA. The thing that is throwing me off is the 2700...I am guessing it is just a second compatiablility thing...but just want to be sure! Thanks:) |

Re: Are many compatiable???
I normally strongly suggest getting a dual channel kit where dual channel memory is used. I also do not suggest PNY memory since their warranty tactics are deceiving.
