UNSOLVED
Memory Troubles
According to my computer's manual, the maximum amount of RAM for my system is 512 MB divided into 2 slots/simms of 256 MB.
I bought the memory (2x 256 MB) and now the computer's BIOS states that I put in 2x 32 MB !!! Windows won't even load, I get an error message.
When I replace them with my original simms (1x 64 MB + 1x 128 MB), everything is back to normal.
What can be the cause ?

Hi,
I must agree that the RAM you bought is not an 'exact' match for your system. If you choose, you can use the RAM picker on my site. It will point you to the 'exact' memory for your system.

Before I bought the memory, I compared the details with the Dell manual. It was a match, all details were the same...
But I will return the memory to the seller for a refund and order new ones from Crucial. The prices on the Dell site are just way too high.
Thanks,
William
