Title: Careful with a Dell Dimension
Review: I bought this RAM to upgrade my Dell Dimension 3000 from 256 to 512 MB. Same (apparent) specifications as the Dell RAM; however, when installed in the second memory slot in parallel with the Dell memory, the machine would not even boot up. Made a bunch of strange noises that was about it. I swapped slots with the same results. I tried the new RAM by itself, and the Dell booted up and worked fine. Apparently, there is some unspecified parameter that is incompatible with the Dell memory stick. I sent the Ballistix memory stick back to Amazon with an explanation as to what happened and got a full refund. Thank you, Amazon! I then contacted Crucial Memory (maker of Ballistix) and ordered a 1 GB (2x512 MB) matched memory pair, which arrived in about a week. It's installed and working great! Really speeded up my computer a bunch.To avoid this siuation, I recommend that you always order memory upgrades in matched pairs, for Dell computers anyway.
