Be sure to read & learn about difference in speeds in same spec Ex -40ns or -45ns for pc800 & -32ns/-35ns for pc1066 SOME Vendors list -40ns chips as PC1066 NOT

Check end of thread & THANKS for the HELP & Votes!!!


Thanks for your Votes!! & Help!! Please post anything you find!! & Vote! 3/19/05

NOTE: -35s ( 35ns) Memory from NEC found to have problems with D3ll systems
True fast Pc1066 should be -32ns.. Some manuf want to fudge the issue. The Samsung shipped w/ 8250 is -32ns!


WORD of WARNING!!!!
Beware of 32 Bit memory as it is showing cheaper in some cases aka rim4200 or 232 pin memory.!!!!
Make sure of the specs for your equipment. The De*ll 8250 takes 184Pin 16 Bit Rambus in sets of 2!!!

Only that it is a Yahoo site vendor.
BTW $3.00 more for Samsung lifetime is correct! However my experiance with memory is if it works for a week......

A year from now we will be looking for RAM Jet memory ( Ha Ha )
The big question is will Rambus be cheap or even available....
Hopefully the volume that Dell did will help that issue.

Lifetime warranty doesn't mean much to me. I had a NIC from "CNet". That's right. It locked up my PC and corrupted the OS. Got a replacement and same problem. Ended up eating the loss.

remember to buy in 2's.

Well if you have a problem with your ram, you will notice it in the first year. I never heard of ram just dieing (unless you do something that probably voids the warrenty anyhow) like a monitor or hard drive does. Besides, you probably will have a new computer in a few years anyhow that most likely will have diffrent ram.

Btw, the review of digi4you...

That was the $3 difference mentioned above!

My unit has Samsung from Dell. I thought they all did?

as far as what is compatible in size's Look on page 100 in manual
Instructions on Page 87 on how to install.

This link on Vendors website says 1066
Many times manuf websites are old & need to be updated.

Check with Vendor to confirm on phone if uncomfortable.
