Memory configuration in new Dell 4550
I plan to buy a new 4550 Dell. I wanted to know if I get 128 mg of ram, will it just come with one stick of 128 or 2 sticks of 64? Cause assuming it comes with just one stick, I was gonna buy a stick of 512 crucial ram instead of buying it through dell cause it would be cheaper and add that to the 128.
Thanks

I just received a 4550 this week with 512 Mb RAM and it came with one stick. If they do this with 512 Mb, I'm pretty sure they will also do it with 128 Mb.

Rick,
I didn't pay for it myself (it was for work), and the ordering process is so complex where I work, that I just let the purchasing managers handle it. If you want something where I work, you order it all at once so that it all gets there at the same time rather than over a 4 to 6 month period. Rest assurred that if I were purchasing a system from my own funds, I would order the minimum memory from Dell and upgrade myself from one of your sources.

128Mb of ram is not enough today. I recommend 256Mb MINIMUM!!!! 512Mb is perfect.313

My previous computer is an HP Pavilion. Does anyone know if the RAM is compatible so I can add it to the Dell 4550?
Thanks

Hi Silvernole12
The Dimension 4550 taks DDR SDRAM and if you have this kind of memory in the old HP, then you can definitely have them in the Dim 4550. It's better if they have confguration like, PC2700 @ 333MHz or PC2100 @ 266MHz(speed).
Ram.

Thanks for all the replies.
To and4100,
please reread my original post. The only reason I was gonna get only 128 was to use the extra money and buy a stick of 512 of crucial ram(to add on) becuase its alot cheaper than buying a total of 512 through dell.
To Jammy_ramesh,
I was not the one who asked about an old HP. That was another members question.

Hi,Very good idea.
If you use the Crucial RAM picker, you will find that the correct 512MB chip for the 4550 model number is only $80. That is much less than the price increase Dell charges for the same amount of RAM when you buy a new system.
Yes, that is a very good idea.
