Can i use this with the ram in my dell optiplex mini tower 2x2 gb ( 4gb) as its 400 MHz? and a different manufacturer?

Yes you can. Manufacturer isn't the most important factor. Type-DDR2 and speed, are more important. They make memory backwards compatible for speed so as long as it's the same type-ddr2-that the board uses, the newer, faster memory will work, just at the slower speed that the motherboard uses. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. The memory that I bought was for server, which has "error correction" feature (ECC). Optiplex 755 should use just regular desktop DDR2 memory (example like this http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-800MHz-PC2-6300-PC2-6400-Desktop/dp/B004LT6O56/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1431600736&sr=1-4)

Yes, this will work with the OptiPlex 320. It will be the maximum amount of memory the board will support, and, you might need to install the BIOS update first - I did with mine. You can use the Dell support site to find and download the BIOS update. But, yes, this memory is compatible.

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

Yes, I'm using 16GB (2x8GB) 1866Mhz Corsair Vengeance memory modules on this machine, included are a couple of modules with 2GB/4GB. I would recommend pulling those out completely and get a new matched pair.

Hi Cet, There weren't a lot of computers that were built to accept the DDR2 4GB module. Being a rare part, it is quite expensive. ***Please verify that your machine can take a 4GB module before purchasing.*** I have included a link below to the 4GB DDR2 module. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4DTZT2 Thanks, Trish Customer Care Arch Memory

I think so. I see 16gb RAM cards for sale on Amazon. 16gb (2x8gb) Dimm Memory RAM Compatible with Dell XPS 8700 Desktop / Special ... But I'm using the 8gb setup that came with my system.

We send out upgraded Dell OptiPlex 780's and they can take 16GB of DDR3 RAM. Just make sure to email us after purchase so we make sure to put 64 bit on it so it will read more than 3.5GB. Thanks, Computer World

I want to make sure I get you the information you need. This Motherboard takes DDR3 RAM. It supports 1333mhz and 1066mhz speeds (either speed will work, 1333mhz is faster). The pinout for the RAM is 240-pin. As for brands, there are many top tier manufacturers, and at this stage in technology, it is almost a matter of preference. Some of the top tier manufacturers that I like to use in my machines are OCZ, Crucial, or Corsair. Corsair is my top preference. Corsair's Vengeance series is excellent, OCZ's platinum series is excellent, and Crucial's ballistix series is excellent. I dare say you won't go wrong with any of those 3. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll be happy to provide any further help.

@Robert, i have seen people put up to 16gbs of ram so yes, you can put 2x8gbs ive also seen up to 1600mhz ram on this motherboard.

David, you should see in your mother board dell optiplex, and check the model

Yes. Any PC2-6400 / DDR2-800 200-pin SO DIMM SDRAM will work up to 2x2Gb for 4Gb total.

Not sure, I use Crucial.com to figure out what RAM will work with my PCs. Good Luck

It does not support Dell Optiplex 755. This RAM is fully buffered DDR2 RAM and it supports old Dell servers. It doesn't even fit in the memory slot. The Dell Optiplex works only non-ECC DDR2 RAM.

It should be fine. I bought an Dell 745 Optiplex and I had no problem with any of my older items. Hooked up and running with no problems.

Anthony, Most ram these days are fully compatible with all system manufactures. I had no problem installing these two on a Dell and another 2 on a HP laptop, both sets were of DDR2 & DDR3 Good value for the product. Donald

according to the MSI website you can use up to 3000 Mhz memory with this board. http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z87G43.html#?div=Detail
