New Memory Not Working

Question

I have a Dell Dimension 4550 w/ 533 FrontSide Bus. I just purchased some Rosewill memory to put upgrade:   RW333/1024KITDP, Unbuffered, Non-ECC Dual DDR SDRAM Module (184 Pin DIMM) PC2700 (DDR333) 1GB (2x 512MB) When I power up the pc though, I get a string of beeps and nothing else.  Do I need to update the BIOS or is the Dual DDR not going to work in this system.

The D-4550 does not use DDR-2 only single channel DDR.

If you want memory that compaible with your D-4550, then use www.crucial.com and use their memory advisor. Crucial's memory is guaranteed to work in your system, has a lifetime warranty and free S&H.

It's the right type of RAM, but it either works or doesn't, and if it doesn't there is nothing you can do but return it.
