I have a dell sc 420 that takes PC2-4200 DDR2 mem and it failed the memory test with this memory. what am i missing?

The official specs say the Dell SC420 requires "ECC" RAM. ECC RAM has 9 chips on each side, it is designed to be highly resistant to corruption. See this article on ECC memory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory The official Dell SC420 specs here: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/sc420_specs.pdfThis RAM is not compatible, unfortunately. I myself have never heard of ECC RAM before.

How would I know, I bought them for a Dell Optiplex GX280 flat desktop, not those goofy tower computers they make, they're ridiculous. I can put my monitor on top of my computer and it opens up like a book to get at everything inside. Do computer designers have any brains, The only way to make a computer is the flat design like mine that opens like a book, NOT TOWER computers. Michael Weisser

Based on the results of a search for Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop memory upgrade via Crucial's memory upgrade advisor, these should work fine.Crucial indicates a maximum of 2GB PC2700 DDR CL = 2.5 for the unit.

Hi Robert, "critter number one" gave you the most thorough answer you could probably get. When I bought mine I used Crucial's memory selector to select the Crucial RAM I bought... you can trust its site and the memory selector it employs on the site. That particular 4GB kit included 2- 2 gb 240 pin DDR2 DIMM ELC Unbuffered PC2 RAM to replace some Kingstons that were under-performing. Hope that helps. Dennis

It seems Dell uses the same model numbers for different computers over the years, I found this http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_745techspecs.pdf which is for an older version that would for sure not work with the ram. Or I guess looking at your link no it won't work, this is DDR3 memory, where as yours uses DDR2. But you could try downloading CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html), go to the SPD tab after memory, you can at least get what speed of ram you have there and work off that.

Check out Crucial.com and browse to Dell > Dimension > 4600 and you'll find exactly what type of memory you need. Check Amazon's price though, they may be better than crucial.

To be honest I'm not sure. I've never opened it up, but Dell may have answer or some third party memory finder websites. Apologies.

Look at the memory you now have. It should have this on it somewhere - DDR2-533 - and it should look like the memory in the picture.

Fredrick, as others have stated, it's server RAM. I had to call the company in order to get the correct one. The one Kingston suggested in place of the wrong one (*GB DDR2 SDRAM) is this one: 8GB (2X4GB) NEMIX RAM Memory DDR2 667MHz PC2-5300 Desktop DIMM 240 PIN

****(DDR2-800) is technically called PC2-6400, if your installed memory is DDR2-800, this is right module for you. It's also backward compatible with PC2-5300 (DDR2-667)***DDR2/ DDR3 Laptop memory modules are 200 PINS and Desktop memory modules are 240 PINS.More technical info and difference in memory types are found athttp://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.aspx?qid=4073http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.aspx?qid=3773

According to the specs here http://m.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6438770 this memory module will work. The important numbers are DDR 2 and 667MHz. PC2-5300 is just another way of saying the same thing because some manufacturers use xxxMHz and others may use PC-xxxx. My suggestion is to upgrade to 1GB.

I installed it (2-2gb modules) in my Dell 630 and had no major issues. Sometimes after you install the ram it goes through a check that can take several minutes to complete. If this is the case, just walk away from it for 10 mins or so and see if it boots. If you get a memory error beep, either their is a problem with a module or they are not seated all the way.

You will need to go to the Kingston Memory site and use their Configurator to see if this advertised memory P/N KVR667D2S5/2G will work in your Dell to make sure. I pretty much do all my research up front and come to Amazon with the part number I am seeking.

First, make sure this type of RAM memory is fully compatible with the machine you are using it. For that, you may want to contact the manufacturer. Then you should check the RAM memory (one stick of RAM at the time) to see if it is free from errors. Search for "memtest" in your web browser, download the software and do a checkup.

memory - 2GB 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 Make sure its a single stick and not 2 x 1gb There is a lot to choose from i just attached an example. 3 screws on the bottom of the laptop remove the flap and insert the memory. took 2 minCrucial Technology CT25664AC800 2GB 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 Memory Moduleutes.

This is RamBus memory, for old computers. If you have a Dell Dimension 8100, likely this is your memory. Check what you need on crucial.com

I am not sure it will work with your dell. what I did was go to Crucial sitehttp://www.crucial.com/ and use the system scanner. It will tell you whatmemory can be use. then go back to amazon and look up that memory and purchase from them.

I think not, because the memories are smaller laptop! have to check that your PC has slots for DDR2 800 mhz, that you verify it in "system properties"
