That should work rather nicely! One thing I would check is what tweaking options your Dell BIOS has. Do you know how to access that?

Well, on my Dell Laptop, when you see the Dell logo, I keep pressing F2 until it says "Entering Setup." If you haven't messed with a BIOS before, then you might not want to worry about it. It can get really confusing.

The reason I ask is without messing with the BIOS, you might not get the exact timings that the ram you've selected has. That's probably fine, though. You should be good with that RAM, as long as it's not expensive. How much are you going to pay for it?

We're gonna have to go into your BIOS then. I don't have any experience with Dell BIOSes. Anyone else here have a Dell? /shout. :D

I would google your Dell system's part number and "BIOS" and see if you can find some screenshots of the BIOS.

Do you have another computer besides that one?

You know anybody locally that might be able to help you out?

It's tough without the system in front of me, ya know? Dells work a lot differently than other computers. And Dell might have locked your system out from using other types of ram. Manufacturers sometimes do that so they can make bank on their parts.
