Title: Dimension 8100 Memory
Post by: Ian Lyons on October 09, 2003, 03:44:56 PM

Hi, I am trying to upgrade the memory on a Dimension 8100, Dell point me on their support website to Kingston (UK Company).  They charge ridiculous amounts  for memory yet when you search for RDR Ram on Dabs.Com you can get a 256 non parity stick for £90!  Can anyone clarify what ram the 8100 supports?  I have used the Dell upgrade service and it did not help.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ian

Dimension 8100 uses PC800 RDRAM.  You can add two 128MB modules ore two 64MB modules (RDRAM must be installed in pairs).  I used PNY the last time I did a Dim 8100 upgrade.  Unfortunately, it's going to cost a lot more than SDRAM or DDR.
