I want to buy some PC3200 to use in a Dell Dimension 4550 now and be able to use it in an upgrade later. Has anyone done this or know of a brand of module that will work.
I'm wondering if the voltage required by the PC3200 would be more than the Dell MB could supply even when running it at 333MHz.
Failing that - can anyone recommend a brand of PC2700 that works well in a DIM4550?
