Any Number of chips that is not 8 or 16 or 32 is not low density and will not work.
Seeing the Kingston labels makes me think they are fake Ram Chips.
Some of the counterfeits go so far as to have chips with no silicon inside aka they wont work with ANY system ever because they are no better than cardboard mockups of actual Ram Chips.
One of my Engineers points out that the 10 chips is due to this being SERVER RAM and NOT EVER COMPATIBLE With your system.
2 beeps indicate 'No RAM Detected'. Your system has 4 memory slots and the maximum memory supported is 8 GB. Below is the specification of the compatible memory for your system:
SpeedStep: I wrote name-type of my computer ( Dell Inspiron 560 ). It isn't laptop and it isn't old.
DELL-Vikram M: Yes, I heard clicking noise. New RAM simply doesn' t work ( When I turn on the computer I hear beep... ). Also I tested Unplug the power cable and...,but no change. With old ram the computer works without problems.
Thank you so much for reply
SpeedStep: Sorry for bad photo. On 2GB module are five chips ( Under stick is one... ) and also on second side are five chips. On old module isn't nothing on second side only on front. So:
The specifications of the memory appears to be compatible with your system. I wil recommend you to take out the memory sticks and insert them back making sure it locks in and you hear a clicking noise. This wil ensure the memory sticks are inserted properly. In case the issue still persists, try connecting the RAM which was originaly shipped with your system.
In case the origial memory sticks work fine with your system, there is a possibility that one of the memory sticks is not working properly. Try the below steps:
Note: Turn off your system. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet. Press and hold the power button for 10 to 15 seconds to drain the flea power.
Take out all four memory sticks from the system.
Insert one memory stick in each slot at a time and see if the system powers on.
Try the above steps with all other memory sticks (One at a time).
DDR3 Ram is not compatible with DDR2 RAM or DDR Ram.
An Old Computer Would not be using DDR3. You did not say what dell model.
The memory shown in the picture is NOT Laptop Ram.
INTEL Chipsets need LOW Density RAM.
Note the 8 Chips on the 1 Gig Module and the 4 Chips on the "2gig Module"
You need a 256 Meg x 64 part not a 1024 Meg x 16 part.
The density of a memory module is basically determined by the DRAM chips that make up the memory module. For example a 1GB DDR2 module like the one in your system can be made up of 8x 1Gb (gigabit) chips or 16x 512Mb (megabit) chips. The fewer chips on the module, the higher the density. This is because the individual DRAM chips have a higher density to make up the full megabyte value of the actual memory module.
How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To utilize more memory, install a 64-bit version of your OS. More information about OS memory maximums can be found
here.
low density 1GB modules are made with 16 chips (8 chips on each side) using 64Mx8 device.
high density 2GB modules are made with 8 chips (4 chips on each side) using 128Mx4 device.
It costs less to make high density ram modules.
In very high density modules there are 2 Chips on 1 side 512M x 4 Device.
JEDEC standard/guideline specifies that 64Mx8 and 32Mx16 devices are to be used to construct a 1GB Unbuffered module. Any 1GB Unbuffered module constructed by using 128Mx4 device BREAKS all the JEDEC standard/guideline in which is supposed to be designed only for Registered module. Since JEDEC doesn't want the modules to be built that way, so the companies who make them (a lot are generic and 3rd parties), don't guarantee the Unbuffered modules or they FAKE the Branding aka There are a lot of Kingston Counterfeits.
This has become so bad there is a site to check this.
LOW DENSITY modules have 100% compatibility with ALL systems and ALL chipsets because they fully follow JEDEC guidelines.
HIGH DENSITY modules only have 10% compatibility because they violate all JEDEC guidelines.
Due to unsuitability and high incompatibility of high density modules with standard PC, they are FAR CHEAPER, usually about half the price when compare with low density modules and a lot of buyers have fallen into attractive CHEAP PRICE trap by High Density module sellers and have complained that they will not run at all and sellers would not accept return!

You MUST HAVE UN BUFFERED LOW DENSITY RAM.

Yes, now I have 4x1GB ( It's old ) and I bought 4x2GB = 8GB. That RAM is wrong ? www.amazon.co.uk/.../ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2

old => 8
new => 10
