Dimension 8200 Questions
Question:

I have a DELL DIMENSION 8200 2ghz, with 400fsb. Your memory selector comes up with pc800 -40ns as a number of sites does, but some dont, but DELL claims the memory that came with it was pc800-45ns latency. So I looked at one of the cards and sure enough it has pc800-45 on it. I was going to buy 2, or a kit of 2, 512mb 40ns cards for 1gb and swap out the 2, 128mb cards in slots 1 and 2, and which you have for $324.95. These your memory selector recommended! But now that I see that it actually has 45ns cards in the machine and they are DELL supplied, I could get 2gb of the 45s at $479.95. But you say they are not compatible. Then again if I buy the 40ns pair, would they run with the other 2, 256-45ns cards being 45ns types? My DELL book on specifications unfortuneately doesn't say anything about latency. But the actual memory cards and some other DELL sites shows 45NS.
Answer:


If your system currently has PC800-45 memory installed, then this memory can also be used as your upgrade (it is also a good bit cheaper). We recommend PC800-40 for Dimension 8200's because 90% of these machines do require the PC800-40.

Again, all of our PC800-45 RDRAM  is guaranteed compatible with your computer.
