Answer 1

www.crucial.com

Answer 2

The best way to insure you'll buy the correct memory is to go to:
http://support.dell.com
type in your Service Tag # and find out what components your system was shipped with. Get the same spec module to do the upgrade. Dell will sell your the memory but if you have the specs go to:
http://www.tigerdirect.com
They have really good prices on computer stuff.

Answer 3

If you buy from Dell you will pay out the nose. http://newegg.com or http://tigerdirect.com are the best places on the net to get the memory you need. You do have to know what kind of memory you have (ddr, ddr2) and you also need to make sure how much memory you can use, and the number of slots avalible, you might be able to add more chips (if you have empty slots) or you may have to replace the current chip(s) with new ones.

Answer 4

first find out what the pin of ur memory chips are either 184 or 240 because if u buy the wrong one its a waste and DO NOT buy from currcuit city or any other store befcause they sell cheap memory for alot I use www.newegg.com to buy all my computer junk and i have never had one problem with them.

Answer 5

as long because it is an identical kind of reminiscence, like PC133 SDRAM as an occasion, and it has an identical style of actual connector (the DRAM chip modules have little slots on them so as that they'd basically be inserted one way) then specific, pass forward. pass into the BIOS whilst booting and verify the hot quantity of reminiscence. do not difficulty approximately "erasing" the reminiscence, that happens all by applying itself whilst the means is bumped off whilst it gets close down or the reminiscence module is bumped off. make specific to apply ESD (elctro static discharge) risk-free practices (a wrist strap as an occasion) or you need to break the chips without even understanding it.

Answer 6

its called ram and you can get it @ best buy. how much do you want to upgrade. go to crucial.com and let it scan. it will tell you how much you have, what kind, how many slots and how much your motherboard can handle. and a price on more. I dont know where u are but you can email me after you check out crucial. com and I have all the ram for 1/2 or less the price and can mail. make dure its either pc100 orpc133! good luck!

Answer 7

Go to the crucial site and press the button "Scan my system" click "show all"; this will tell you what RAM can be used in your system and what upgrade options you have.

It will not tell you what speed your RAM is. To determine the RAM speed download Cpu-Z by CPUID , unzip and run cpuz.exe .

In the results, the SPD Tab will list Memory manufacturer, memory module size; Maximum bandwidth; Part number, Serial number, and Manufacturing date.
Maximum bandwidth will list something like PC2-4300 (266 MHZ) . Your memory speed = 4300/8 = 537.5 Hz. or twice what is in parenthesis.

Add more memory to your computer

When you add RAM all your RAM will run at the speed of the slowest RAM installed.

Once you know your memory type and speed you can buy your memory anywhere.
