Hey my friend just baught a pc from dell.com. It has not arrived yet, but it's on its way. I saw the specs after he pruchased it, and I noticed he only got it with 128mb's of PC2700 ram(333mhz). It's a P4 2.4 at 533fsb. Anyways the dell's webstie says the ram will operate at 266mhz, if it wasnt for the 533 fsb, (but thats irrelevant I think). My feelings are that he should at least have 256mb. He will be running XP, and plans on doing alittle gaming, but for the most part not much at all. According to the specs, the board only has 2 DIMM slots. My question is: is all ddr pc2700 compatible. Could we install any other type 128mb of pc2700 in his mobo, to make a combined total of 256? If not, will I need to take a look at the ram dell uses, and purchase that exact ram? And once we do get it installed how do I go about the mobo reconizing it. I have never played with DDR, only RDRAM, and old SDRAM, im not sure if it's tricky, or if it's just "plug and play". Anyways I totally appreciate the help, and suggestions. Thanks alot.
