I've been running my Dell XPS 420 with 4GB RAM in the following configuration:-

4 x 1GB Samsung 1Rx8 PC2-6400U-666-12-ZZ

I've managed to get hold off 2 x 4GB modules to try to see if its worth paying to upgrade to 8GB. These are:-

2 x 4GB Transcend DDR2 400 REG-D CL3

These don't appear to be compatible. I have tried them in a black and white slot, black and black slot and white and white slot but all I get is s buzzing noise and the LCD says memory detected but either faulty or incompatible.

Not being a memory expert, should the above 4GB RAM be compatible with this system?

Thanks

You need to check out the voltage too cos apparently it's fixed on 1.8V and, assuming we have the same XPS420, on the manual it says you need to put them in the same slot (white paired with white, black with black) to get them running.
