Hi, I have a Dell Optiplex GX280 currently equiped with 2×256 Mo DDR2 400Mhz Memory module.
I want to purchase 2 Go additionnal memory. I found on Dell’s site two Kingston part#.
1- KTD-DM8400A/1G @ 79.99$ each
2- KTD-DM8400/1G @ 55.99$ each
on a local dealer website, I found same memory module
1- KTD-DM8400A/1G @ 45$ each
2- KTD-DM8400/1G @ 65$ each
(yes 400Mhz is more expensive than 533Mhz)
Now, @ 55$, I can have KVR400D2N3K2/2G at same dealer. It is a kit of two 1Gb Memory module.
I see specs and don’t find difference between specs of KTD-DM8400/1G and KVR400D2N3K2/2G exept KVR… is not designed for my Dell. Why pay 130$ (2×65$) to have memory designed for my Dell if I can have generic memory upgrade for 55$ ???? Will non Dell specific RAM affect my system stability?
Memory Guru, I thanks you in advance.
