what memory shall I buy for my Poweredge 400sc which is 4+ years old?

[Guest Mike]

Hi all,

 

My Poweredge 400sc was from the year 2004. It has a P4 3.2Ghz CPU. But I

don't know what memory does it use. I want to expand memory. Can anybody

tell me what special type of memory shall I buy for this Poweredge 400sc PC?

I see your email address is "meathead". Fits.

 

Has it occurred to you to search the Dell website... or maybe to just

give them a phone call?

crucial.com or kingston.com

In the future, if you must crosspost, keep it to relevant groups only,

setup_deployment is not a relevant group.

Have you contacted Dell technical support? I would suggest posting a

question in the Dell Community Forum.

 

There's also this:

I would like to suggest in future that if you really must cross-post, do

so to the fewest number of relevent newsgroups. You do not have a

question about Windows XP.

And this has what to do with XP? Oh right, NOTHING.

 

Ask elsewhere

It is absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully

compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)

already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper

switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM

configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the

manufacturer's web site for specific instructions and compatibility

requirements.

 

If you cannot lay your hands upon the computer's manual and the

manufacturer doesn't provide a support web site, you can use these

utilities to help determine the correct type of RAM needed:

 

SiSoft's Sandra

Belarc Advisor

http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

 

Unlimited Possibilities' AIDA32

http://forum.aumha.org/overflow/aida32.zip

 

Also, Crucial Memory's web site (http://www.crucial.com) has a database to

help to find the right RAM for your specific make and model computer

and/or motherboard. (Incidentally, Crucial is the only company from

which I ever buy RAM. I've never been disappointed.)
