Hi
My parents have an older dell de051 - equivalent to a dimension 1100.
MB is intel 865gv
Intel's memory comment: "Dual-Channel DDR 400/333/266 SDRAM -- Flexible memory technology allows a full spectrum of DDR usage from incredible performance to more cost-effective systems."
Using Newegg's memory configurator I ended up with Corsair xms memory, specifically 2 sticks of CMX1024-3200c2pt. It came in a 2GB kit - TWINX2048-3200C2PT. Seemed like good quality memory, from what I understood it is far higher performance than this computer requires (which I thought was a good thing), and it came with a heat sink and a $25 mail in rebate.
Upon installing the new memory all I got out of the computer was a series of beeps. Going back to the original 256k stick it boots fine.
I would just like to understand what it is about the new memory that makes it incompatible with this computer.
