Hi,
I bought this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145574
I've got a Dell Precision Workstation 450...and using dell's memory upgrade thing, they suggest their brand of generic pc3200 ddr unbuffered non-ecc ram.
So I thought the Corsair XMS would work because it follows those specs. But when I remove the old ram and put the new ram in, the computer doesn't even post.
Is that more likely to mean the ram is doa, or simply not compatible? Why wouldn't it be compatible?
thanks
