What Kind of RAM is this? Please Help

[plastick]

I have to buy some more RAM for my parents Dell computer.. But I don't know what kind of ram it is. I checked it out but it doesnt say. It has these numbers on a sticker though:
Korea 0212
M368L1713CTL-CB0

And on the chips: 211
K4H280838C-TCB0

I dont know.. But I'm guessing that its DRAM.. Isnt there a place in the mmc that I can read the computer specs?

Any help is appreciated!

DDR 266 RAM

128 MB Samsung M368L1713CTL-CB0 Non-ECC

If you want to get more ram for them, check to see if their Dell can handle either 256mb ram or 512 mb ram chips.
The manual will tell you, and if you don't have that, ask them to give you the make/model of their dell from their documentation.

Thanks so much dude!

I will just grab some DDR 256mb from newegg now.

You think this would be a good buy?

Sure, but do they need pc-3200 ram for what they use the computer for? Can't hurt, of course. But you might be able to find better deals.

NewEgg has Crucial pc-2100 (ddr266) ram for $37.00 Crucial 256mb PC2100 ddr266 ram

What does the pc-3200 mean?
They only wanted their crap dell system to be faster. Everything was hella slow because of the low ammount of ram and the high ammount of crap running on the system.

I already bought that other stick. Will it still work?

It means the memory is rated to run 200MHz (DDR400) but can clock down if the FSB is lower than 200.

Yes
