Memory Question
I recently purchased a Dimension 8250 with 256 MB RAM. I want to upgrade to 512 MB. When I try to purchase a 256 MB Module, it tells me I need 2 of them. I don't understand. Can somebody explain?

Thanks!
Yes, you could. As Denny said, for your computer (and other P4s and some P3s), RDRAM must be added in matched pairs. The pairs don't need to match each other, just the two sticks within the pair. I've gone to Googlegear.com and selected Samsung memory for specific Dell systems and provided the links. Googlegear has great prices. Remember to buy two matching sticks. If you don't want to buy them from Googlegear, you can use the part numbers to find them elsewhere. To find the proper RDRAM for your computer, click here.UnhandledExcept

Unlike other RAM, RDRAM must be installed in pairs. A bit more information for your system is available here.
