Type of RAM?

kushners · #1 01-Mar-2005, 19:48

I'm trying to figure out what type of RAM to get. I have a 2 year old Dell with 256 megs. It is two 128 meg cards that are PC1066. Thera are two more slots for memory that seem to have dummy cards in them. What I am trying to figure out is do I need PC1066 memory, or can I use a different type? The PC1066 I am finding seems pretty expensive.

You will probably have to get the same type of memory. What is the model of your Dell?

I think it is an 8250. From what I can tell, I can use PC800 or PC1066.

Ouch...this may be one of those cases where it isn't worth the hassle of upgrading the ram. Here is some helpful info on RDRAM.

Well, I'm going to bite the bullet and add some. It beats buying a new computer. I'll probably buy the pc800 to save some money though.
