Dimension 8250 RAM Question
My computer is approx 2-3 years old. It has 512 mb of rdram with 533 front side bus. I'm interested in buying 512 more ram. On ebay, Someone is offering PC800 rdram, stating that its for front side bus of 533 mhz or slower. If new at this: The seller states it will work in my machine. Does anyone know for sure, if adding Pc800 to my system will work?
