Will 3200U-333 RAM work in dell dimension 2400? It is for sale on Amazon and says: "This RAM is 3200U-333 & was removed from Dell Optiplex GX289 desktop" This is the product description: 512MB DDR-333 (PC2700) Memory RAM Upgrade for the Dell Dimension 4550 by Dynamic Memory

The ram you will need if you want to upgrade to 1GB is DDR400 (better known as PC 3200U (400MHZ BUS speed)), if you already have it, be aware that static is a very dangerous thng to microchips as it causes them to fail, so plug the PC in and leave the switches turned OFF, this will ground the case, open the panel with care and make sure you touch the chassis regularly and DO NOT work on a carpet for obvious reasons, there will be two white clips on the sides of the module(s) already in the system, push the tabs back to release the module, remember to handle the memory from the top and don't touch the contacts, take the new module, line it up with the notch in the middle of the socket and the RAM, and lightly push it in until the white tabs lock into place, then close everything up, power it up and run MEMTEST86 and Prime95 to make sure the system is stable with the new RAM and that it will not cut out or blue screen.

It should this is what dell has for the pc listed on the website

Once again, yes.

It looks like it according to the specs from Dell. The maximum is 2gb.

Hope this helps

Hey Richard, your board has 2 x 184 DIMM slots, that are both usable, with a maximum capacity of 2GB, supported RAM types are 333MHz, and 266MHz..

Hope this is what you are looking for,

Cheers,

There u go! and YES, 2GB is tha maximum RAM you can have on that one.
But NO, you can NOT use PC3200 sticks, this is what you can use:
PC2100 (266-MHz) or PC2700 (333-MHz) DDR SDRAM (non-ECC)

You can read all about in the documentation obove

Good luck
Nic

per the crucial memoryadvisor (It has never failed me yet) Yes the system will support 2 1 GB RAM modules.

That being said, it is advised that you flash the bios to the most current BIOS version to ensure that capability.

I have one for sale at www.JonRosenSystems.com. This is an extremely large and heavy unit. It has two P3-733 CPU's, 512mb RAM and three 18gb Quantum Atlas SCSI drives. I have more drives and RAM available.

Hey kmart08,

If you're not quite sure what kind of memory you would need to replace or upgrade your existing configuration, you may wish to first look up your specific model using your Dell service tag through the following link:

http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/details?~ck=ln&~tab=2&c=us&l=en&lnki=0&s=gen

Once you have entered your service tag, you should be provided with a full, detailed list of the hardware within your computer - including the type and size of the memory stick(s) originally installed. This information may also be available in the owner's manual documentation provided by Dell with your system.

According to information available, Dimension 2400 series computers should be able to use PC2100 (266-MHz) or PC2700 (333-MHz) DDR SDRAM, but you may wish to speak with a Dell tech support representative directly for confirmation.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron
Go Ahead. Use Us.

The front side bus speed of the processor is the limiting factor of your RAM speed.
The Processor has a 400 Mhz FSB, hnece your RAM runs at 266.
For RAM to run at 333 (PC 2700), you'll need a 533 FSB Processor.
