Gx280 Sff 512mb
PC2-3200R Ram and PC2-3200U?
This may sound like an obviously answered question, but i'm not very bright with RAM so i'll ask anyway....I have a Dell GX280 SFF, and I recently did a memory compatibility test, and it says the PC can take PC2-3200 RAM. So, I bought 4 512mb sticks of that RAM. I then proceeded to put it in, but the computer doesn't load, it beeps. I looked it up and it says that there is an issue with the RAM. The old stuff is PC2 3200U, and this is PC2 3200R. Is there a compatibility difference between them, or is my BIOS old? Any suggestions would be useful
The new RAM is most likely incompatible.
The U and R are most likely referring to unregistered and registered. Registered memory is used in servers and higher-end workstations that absolutely cannot tolerate errors and need to have a lot of memory in each stick (there was a time when 512 MB was a lot of memory in one stick). Registered memory works differently than unregistered memory and needs a motherboard (and often processor) that will tolerate it. Sorry, it looks like you have some memory that just won't work. You might try the ram at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134181 if you want 2GB at PC2-3200. NewEgg ( www.newegg.com ) doesn't offer any 512 MB blocks at that speed, but they do offer 1 and 2 GB blocks: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&Subcategory=147&Description=&Type=&N=2010170147&srchInDesc=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&PropertyCodeValue=524%3A8089 .
I hope this helps.
