Some motherboards are very fussy about RAM, so be careful. I bought some generic RAM from Aria and my PC wouldn't boot with it in at all. So I sent it back and a month (!) later got it swapped for another stick of the same - that wouldn't work either. So another month later I was finally given a credit note and spent a bit extra on some branded RAM which I'm awaiting delivery.

About 3 years ago I wanted a 2nd 333MHz cpu for our Dell Poweredge server, don ask why . Dell wanted over £500, I found it on AUTdirect for just under £30 including a free power fan!!

Crucial memory comes from their factory in Scotland and they've never let me down with delivery.
The Dell Dimensions have always taken the crucial chips. I had loads of problems with their really old OptiPlexes and cheap generic stuff.

I'll recommend www.crucial.com
The good thing is you can select your PC/laptop and get a compatible memory.
