Dell Precision 380 RAM Upgrade Problem
Hello, I've recently decided to upgrade RAM in my desktop. Previously I had SAMSUNG PC2-4200E-444-10-B1 512MB. I bought 2 x NANYA PC2-4200E-444-12-B1 and they don't work. That is, I turn the computer on and lights 1 and 3 are on, the computer is beeping. When I put back my old memory, everything works fine. W How can I solve this problem?

No idea why that non-Dell memory is not working.
Maximum 8GB
Four DIMM slots
Dual-channel DDR2 533MHz ECC
Dual-channel DDR2 667MHz ECC and non-ECC
You cannot mix ECC and non-ECC sticks
Dell validated 2GB memory sticks =
D6494 2GB 533MHz
F6806 2GB 533MHz ECC
Dell validated 1GB memory sticks =
U8622 1GB 667MHz
D6502 1GB 667MHz ECC
C6844 1GB 533MHz
UJ524 1GB 533MHz
D6508 1GB 533MHz ECC

If I buy this memory, is it going to work?

If you buy from crucial.com and they recommended it for your specific model, they'll take it back if it doesn't work.
Use the search wizard on their home page to find RAM for this model.

Hi,
I've also got a Precision 380 desktop and i'm looking to upgrade the memory from 1Gb to 8Gb.
Will this machine accept ECC buffered ram?

Yes, but you probably can't mix/match ECC and Non-ECC RAM.
From the spec sheet:
Up to 8GB1 dual-channel DDR2 533MHz ECC registered memory; Four DIMM slots; 667MHz and non-ECC memory also available

The 380 DOES NOT Accept BUFFERED or REGISTERED ram.
There are ECC Modules that are NOT BUFFERED.
Specs: DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64 •

Massive thanks for confirming that.
You have saved me from buying duff RAM from an eBay auction, that would not accept returns.
