776904 2009-05-26 04:01:00 I'm curious about RAM cards... I was thinking of adding a better one to my Dell Optiplex GX260 (the medium size model), but I'm not quite sure how I can tell what sized card I need for my specific pc... Is there a certain name or something for each different card size or something? How would I go about upgrading it? NZDragon (14937)

776910 2009-05-26 06:46:00 DDR is much more expensive unfortunately, more expensive that the faster DDR2 RAM, because it is getting rarer and rarer Blam (54)
