Dell dimension 5100 ram upgrade

[Guest]

Hello,
what type of ram chip can i get that will be compatible with my other ram chip or is it better to get a 2gb ram chip instead

Your dimension 5100 has a limit of 1 gig per ram slot. It uses pc2 240 pin 3200 or 4200 ram. I strongly recommend you buy from a dealer that guarantees it's ram to work with your model number. Crucial.com guarantees it's ram to work, or they will replace it.
