Memory for Poweredge SC420

Question

I only have a GB Ram in my SC420 and I want to upgrade. I am looking at these two options. http://www.upgradecomputermemory.com/ram.cfm/memory/D/Dell-Memory/PowerEdge-Memory/PowerEdge-SC420-420SC-DDR2-533MHz/2GB-2x1GB-Dell-PowerEdge-PC2-4200-ECC-DDR2-533-Memory-Kit.html http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134312 the new egg is alot cheaper - will it work? thanks in advance

Here are 3 links with guaranteed (by the vendor) compatible memory:

Kinston.com
Crucial.com
Dell.com

Per all 3, no 2GB DIMMs are offered and the online manual for the 420SC says the same here <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>.

So I wouldn't expect that memory to work in your 420SC.
