Sorry without that we can't recomend any. Open the case look at the sticker on the RAM. Then tell us exactly what it says.


Or...
Go to http://www.dell.com/ and try to find it using the right computer specs and stuff.

LOL

Looks like we'll have to do some research ourselves...

EDIT: Could try CPU-Z as well...

The link has everything you need, I would spring for the 3200 memory instead of the 2700 personally

whats the difference?

 

[Wentelteefje]

Yeah, it's probably PC2700, they always take those... The difference is speed...

PC2700 is 166MHz DDR (Double Data Rate), which equals 333MHz effective, or gives you a theoretical maximum of 2.7GB/s (hence the PC2700...)

PC3200 is 200MHz DDR, and equals 400MHz effective, which is 3.2GB/s

Standard nearly all the Dells come with the PC2700, but unless there is a great price difference, you'd better pick the PC3200...

my 2400 had PC2100 sdram, but the celeron had a 400MHz FSB
