Memory upgrade and dell chat; dell 8400 dimension
General: Has Dell chat changed its rules? I could not log onto dell chat today! Said my warranty had expired, wanted me to call for fee service; thought I had general support for life of system! Knew software was fee support? ???????? Why can I not get on Dell chat with a system I own?
Entered service tag to check for parts and upgrades; Got notice did not have valid service tag? Tried second much older computer service tag where I have chatted numerous times; same results; Getting original system configurations work fine when same service tags nos are entered!
Will dell pc2 6400 memory work in a dimension 8400? Dell part no SNPXG700C/1G! i HAVE IT BUT HAVE NOT INSTALLED IT! DELL UPGRADES FOR 8400 from web shows PC2 6400 as good ; lOCAL GEEKS SAY NO, too fast, will not be recognized! WHO IS CORRECT!
Thanks for any feedback

Ain't nothing free any more. :emotion-5:
It looks like that RAM is 800 MHz. So assuming the other specs are correct for the 8400 (eg, non-ECC, unbuffered, etc) it should work.
Keep in mind that if you have RAM installed with a slower speed, all RAM will run only at the speed of the slowest RAM that's installed.
