What kind of memory should I use? At present i am using PC3200 DDR.512MB. I upgraded it to 1 Gig but I resorted back to 512MB because my programs keep crashing. Is there any suggestions how I can upgrade my memory? thank you and more power.

You should be able to use just 1 stick of 1GB. your model supports
Each memory slot can hold DDR PC2700,DDR PC3200 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.*

MEMORY 2 x 184-pin DDR DIMM socket support up to 2 GB Support DDR400/333/266 DDR SDRAM

Copied above from ECS website so the answer would yes as it supports up to 3.2GB/s transfer rates at DDR400

yeah thats a normal issue with the dimension 2400 as the older bios only supports a max of 1gb of memory you will need to go to the dell website which ive linked below and get the bios update which will give you support up to 2gb-pc3200 ddr memory

need low density ddr ram

Memory type is the major problem with the 741GX chipset. Very touchy. I used Crucial PC3200 High Density memory to start with (2 x 1 gig Memory), system was lagging even though adjusted settings in bios. whenever a USB device was pluged in, the system would stop responding. Switched to low density memory and no problems since (Ultra PC3200 (2 x 1 gig Memory), and the USB device problem is also solved. I am running WinXP with SP2.

Hello again,

nowadays asus and Geforce are the markets leader ... I would suggest to go any of these by dependin on the features...

1. Memory
2.Additional features
3.Cost (Expense)

If u Find asus cost a little lower than Geforce then go for it, As it has additional feautures.

Hi,

Kindly give a feed back to Improve my statistics and to see If it was helpful for you...
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
You Can Actually Upgrade This To 2 Gig Memory.
Each Slot Will Take 1 A Gig Strip.
I,d suggest Buying another 256 mb Strip, To Put Into Slot 2.
Or Buy a 512mb ( Half Gig ) Which Will Give you 750mb With your Existing Strip Already In There. ** Recommend 1 Gigabyte Max** 2 gig of Ram in This Baby Would Probably Start Glowing.
You Can Buy DDR/266/333 In 256/512/1 Gig Strips. These Are Commonly Known As SD-RAM-Modules.

need low densisty on ebay 35 buck eash 1 gb ok works on picky mobos way better

Hi,

the memory you're about to purchase will not work. the maximum gig that the computer can handle per stick is only 1 gig. this system is not designed for 4 gig barrier.

hope this helps.

thanks.
