    are you still able to boot the computer with jsut the old memory??

    just wonder if dell sent you defective or the wrong memory..and you did correctly use their memory selector?  because they have messed up their memory selector and its causing people problems with upgrading their memory.

    DONT buy memory from DELL. They rip you off and send you defective memory. My friend bought a 512mb kit for his 8100(which im assuming you did also) and the RDRAM didn't work at all. Then, the Dell tech spent an hour going in circles about moving the RAM around into different slots which did nothing.
