Hi again all,

My son has a Dell dimension 3000 which has 512MB of memory. Can someone provide me with help in terms of how much memory he can add? Hoping for 2GB total. A few months ago I received a ton of help with my Compaq and was able to increase from 512MG (one existing card) to two 1GB cards. This really improved the speed big time and I'm hoping to do the same for my sons P/C. I remember purchasing the card from .....I thing egg.something.

Thanks all,
Jim
 
When looking at memory, I would go with well known brands. Cheap brand memory can make your whole system unstable. I'm personally a Kingston fan, but there are other solid brands out there too.

Maybe other users can share what brands they use and would highly recommend.
 
John,

Thanks again for all your help. On the link you provided, are any of those listed on the page workable with my sons Dell dimension 3000 and just a matter of brand preference?

Yes, the important thing is that it is DDR at a speed of 400 MHz which is also described as PC3200. The DDR 333 MHz (= PC 2700) would also work, but you might as well go for the highest possible speed accepted, which in your case is 400 MHz (= PC 3200).

Of course, making sure it is a 184-pin module is important (unlike modules for laptops which are different).

So again, yes - any of the ones on that link will work.
