| 509383 | 2006-12-25 03:46:00 | Hey! I want to get more RAM for my computer, I don't really know much about what kind of RAM I need or how to find out . I got this computer Dell Dimension DE051 from the Warehouse . I want to upgrade its RAM to 256, preferably by just adding a RAM card to an extra slot . System Info, might help you? I'm not sure . Here: link ( . imageshack . us/img204/2316/compjr1 . png" target="_blank">img204 . imageshack . us) So, where do I get this? What kind do I need? And how do I know how to install it? I also don't want to fork out lots of $ to get a technician to put it in . So many questions, but please excuse me :dogeye: Thanks:p |

| 509384 | 2006-12-25 03:57:00 | I have that model PC as well, try looking in the manual. ;) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 509385 | 2006-12-25 04:06:00 | There was no manual.. At least I don't think so.. O.o | hotnerd23023 (11659) | ||
| 509386 | 2006-12-25 04:14:00 | ..I found it, but I don't know how to find out what KIND of memory is installed. It says you much match the memory to be the same kind. for example a PC2700 333 mhz must be matched with the same kind, another PC2700 333 mhz. I just don't know what RAM card or whatever my PC has. Anyway I can find out without opening up the cover? |

| 509388 | 2006-12-25 06:03:00 | Being a celeron 2.8, it probably takes DDR ram. You should be able to stick DDR400 (the most common DDR these days) in even if your existing RAM is slower. | Greven (91) | ||
| 509389 | 2006-12-25 07:07:00 | Whoa thanks James I got it now. (PC3200 DDR SDRAM) weird thing is when I search it on trademe... it comes up with iMac, and apple crap O__o;; Huh? |

| 509390 | 2006-12-25 07:15:00 | Although I have never bought RAM for an iMac, I have a suspect that they may use a similar RAM to what your looking for. A lot of people with those "horrible" iMacs ;) often source their own RAM to avoid paying Apple's excessive prices. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
