Memory upgrade question

Order your RAM directly from WWW.CRUCIAL.COM.  Free shipping. Lifetime warranty.  $ back if you're not happy with the module.

Remove the new RAM.  Do you see 333 with the original RAM?

Had the same problem, purchased so-called DDR333 RAM module for a D/4550 and it also ran at 266, I could not find the answer why or nor could the manufacturer, so RMA it and then purchased a 512mb,RAM DDR333 module from Crucial and have had no problems since.

Thanks for the reply!

I am surprised that Dell's MB is so picky on RAM. I'll try it out! thanks!

Hi, new dell owner here. Please be nice

I did a search on memory upgrade, but didn't see any post that reflects my problem.

I got a 256mb DDR333 ram from best buy. The brand name is SpecTek. I think they are make by Crucial because the manufatuer MIR goes to Crucial.

Anyways, after I put the ram in, it was fine. I see 512mb total (including my origianl 256). So I thought it was fine.

I reboot again and got into the BIOS and saw the RAM speed is only at 266. What is the problem?

The 256ram that came with my PC should be a 333 because it's stated on my packing slip.

thanks for any input.

SpecTek is owned by Micron, as is Crucial.

You don't say which Dell you have.  Is it a 2350?  If so, it only runs at 266.

Crucial.

Their memory is guaranteed to work in the D-2400, has a lifetime warranty and free S&H on orders over $40.00.
