fixing ram
got a spare ram for my dell 8400
i know where it goes etc and it is the same as in my pc already..but it is not like fitting a normal ram in a normal pc...dell like to take control and when i put it in it said dell as recognised a new ram.
how do i go about going through the set up without having to phone dell as i takes for ever to get through etc.etc.
i have two 512mb sticks in already is it okay to run on three also ?

You'll want to add memory in MATCHED PAIRS, adding a single RAM module will force the system into single channel mode, & you'll take a heavy performance hit.
As long as each channel has matching modules, it will run in dual channel mode.
EXAMPLE:
Row 1 Slot 1 Channel A 256 MB (White Tabs)
