| Dell Dimension 8200, what kind of ram?
my friend, who i have been trying to get to tell me what kind of ram he has, is totally clueless. all he knows is that it is a dell dimension 8200, with p4 2.0ghz. Im guessing it is rdram, but im not sure. Any help would be appreciated. he wants to get more ram, so if you know cheap sites for this ram, that would be great. |

In the upper right of this page is the Crucial ad.. they have a wizard you can use to find what type of RAM it uses

It should be RDRAM. He can check it out by using the SN# or Product# on the back or side of the Dell PC. He can look it up on the Dell site.
