I have a Dell Dimension 8300 Desktop and was trying to upgrade my system memory. I know my computer takes DDR memory so I bought these:

2GB 2 X 1GB PC3200 DDR 400 PC 3200 2700 2100 MEMORY RAM

Here is a link for more details:

When I installed them in my computer and start up there is a loud beep one or two times and the computer will not start. I was told I need DDR memory for my system so I am not sure why these would not be compatible. :confused: Can someone tell me if I bought the wrong item? If so, what kind of memory should I get instead. I appreciate the help in advance.
 
Looks like you bought bad ram. I would have never bought that no name brand. i would have bought some corsair, kingston or something at least familiar. See if you can return it and get something different.
 
It's also a good possiablity that you bought high density ram of ebay and your computer only supports low density ram.
