Ascent sell the Kingston value ram, DDR333 for $61 and this will default down. However, the Kingston Memory Configurator on the Ascent site suggests a Kingston 512MB Module for Dell OEM (DDR266) , selling at $95.50. I suspect he is probably best to stump up the extra $25.00 to be sure, but is it really necessary to buy Dell specific memory?:confused: Thanks in anticipation.	Ferg (2559)

I personally would get the cheapest crap DDR XXX 512 I can find, as it's a Dell and already has cheap crap in it. I would be 99% sure DDR 400 or 333 would work.	wratterus (105)
