Question

here is the documention from dell's site. the customer service people suck so i figured i would try some smarter people online. but i digress. i just need to know what pc number is compatible. i see 333 and 400 mhz and ddr sdram but i look online and i see both pc3200 and pc2700. are they both compatible? what is the difference?

Hi, The best place for this information that I've found is at http://www.crucial.com/store/ListParts.a...

PC3200 and PC2700 are both compatible because PC3200 has the capability to operate the PC2700 clock speeds.

So if you see a PC3200 or PC2700 memory module, it should work. The best practice though is to install matching pairs.

If you have further questions, ask those folks at Crucial (No, I don't work at that company)
