DELL memory? (old PC from 2002)

[Chad711]

Someone from work was given a DELL computer since he didn't have a computer. They asked me to get it running for them. This thing is old and has 512 MB of memory! haha

Is DELL memory different then just any memory I might pick up from Fry's? I once heard this and was wondering if this is true.

Thanks in advance for your help!

f you can run the pc, run CPU-Z and see what max RAM you can run on there, and at what speed it is running.

Best site to check for RAM. It will give you all the info you need to know and even give you the amount the system can handle.

Thanks for the help guys.

It states I need 184-pin DIMM, DDR PC2700. I can't find that on newegg. Will 184-Pin DDR SDRAM work?
