thank you for your reply
yes the Dominator ram here in uk is 1066 DDR2.....on the price front....for the dominator ram in uk with the fans included they are £122 GBP delivered...thats about.. $240 lets round it off to no more than $250 ...
and to my supprise on the dell US site to upgrade from basic 4gb 800mhz ram to Dominator 800mhz ram is $300 to upgrade..
man thats very very expensive and not even 1066mhz as this is what i will be buying in uk ..for £122 -$240..
on that note i have not checked how much you can actualy buy 1066mhz Dominator ram for in US but here in the uk we do usualy have to pay alot more than the US. usualy around 20% more and or even more than that...so infact the ram im buying should be about $200...In US
example....sony PS3 in US..$399 = £200 in UK ..but the PS3 is not £200 In UK its £299. that actauly would be $599... so we actauly get to pay sony $200more than the US....this is just a price example....and 99.9 of everything else..lol...
another example is that a 50in tv would cost $3000 ....in UK you would thing that would be £1500 ..but no...we would actauly have to pay about £2000...thats $4000...a $1000 more to pay ..
this is why we are called rip off britain..and the reason why im so shocked at the Dell US price from basic 4gb 800mhz to 4gb 800mhz dominator is $300...and not even 1066..
sorry for rambling on guys ..im just so bored..!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Killswitch73: I'm not to sure about the price as I'm in the US but I think that would be ok. If the Ram is DDR2 then it should work fine. I think it's the same thing that I have in mine except I'm running 4x1gb. I'd have to double check but that would take a while as I am very far away from my system right now.
Hope this helps.
Also if you check the US site of Dell I think that the Dominator Ram is a purchase option and they might be able to give you more specs on which one they put in it.
