I am upgrading from 4GB to 8GB - Would this work with a pre-built Dell Optilex 3010 which already have one 4GB ram installed?

Yes but, its better if you bought the 1600 mhz version to balance the speed, since your system already uses 1600, and this module only runs at 1333. Sometimes systems become unstable with modules running at two different speeds.

Yes it will work with the original RAM, however your system might not recognize more than 3GB of the 4GB of memory, depends on your BIOS version.

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks

Memory *should* work in this model, although it has not been tested specifically by Dell. As with any laptop, manufacturers sometimes configure hardware to be very specific. Go ahead and try these sticks. You might have to go into the bios and manually configure speed, timing, etc. Worst case is that your laptop won't boot but it shouldn't harm anything.

I put it in a Dell M6700. Seems to work just fine. There should be no problem using faster ram than your computer can handle. Slower you might have an issue.

I guess you ordered the 400Mhz PC 3200 units? If so they will probably work. If your Dell Motherboard supports 400Mhz memory then it will work a little faster than the units you replaced. You can check the hardware configuration for your model at Dell and verify the maximum speed that it can supports. However, if your motherboard won't run 400Mhz they will still work fine at 333Mhz!

go to the dell support site and put in the info of this memory to see if it"s compatible with your machine check with dell first to see if it"s the right memory. I hope that I help you out with this info.

Yep, it works. I was able to upgrade the RAM to 4GB. Here's what I used:QTY:2P/N: CT1651001Manufacturer: Crucial Technologyhttp://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=CED8A023A5CA7304# Module Size: 2GB# Package: 204-pin SODIMM# Feature: DDR3 PC3-10600# Specs: DDR3 PC3-10600 * CL=9 * Unbuffered * NON-ECC * DDR3-1333 * 1.5V * 256Meg x 64 * Screenshot: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8924/systeminfot.jpg

Yes, but it will only operate at 667 MHz speeds. The Dell does not operate at 800. Also, if you are running 32 bit operating system, not all of the 4 GB will be recognized/utilized. Crucial is typically very good RAM, but you may be able to find 667-pc5300 for less $.

Just as you did, I would check with Crucial at crucial.com and use their system analyzer to determine if this is a fit. That's what I did! I was able to use these and went from 2GB to 4GB and was extremely pleased with the increase of performance. In my opinion it's a great value for the gain in performance. I suspect if the specs are the same it will work.

1 4GB kit would max the ram capacity in theory, but you can add a 8GB and make the system 12GB. I have seen this work and Windows recognizes this with no problem. Apparently the empty slot can accommodate max 8GB. The system has one empty slot.

You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb1600Mhz

Yes this will work. It will be downgraded to the slowest memory you have in your machine. You will have to install the slower memory in the first slots and the faster memory in the next slots. Otherwise you will only see the first slot memory. Their memory is good as I have 12 gig in various machine's for over 2 years now and no trouble. I highly recommend them.

Yes! You should have 4 slots for DDR3 memory. Just pull the two current and replace with these. Depending on what you are coming from, should be a nice improvement.

You should call Dell and check on your system's maximum memory capacity. The Dell website says 8G maximum but only offerupgrades for 4G max. Crucial's and Kingston's memory wizard come up with max 4G Kit modules.Manufacturer Part# : SNPTX760C/2Ghttp://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/category.aspx?c=us&l;=en&cs;=04&s;=bsd&category;_id=4325&mfgpid;=202889&tab;=Parts&~ck=anav

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

Hey Von, Good luck on your up grade. This RAM worked great on a DELL that I pick up out of the trash. Installed a new hard drive, Windows 7, an cheep video card and it turned out to be a decent PC. I have put together a number of computers and give them away to seniors to learn on. Good luck, Ed
