Hi Computer Gurus-
I've noticed some good buys on RAM lately (TigerDirect) and I would like to upgrade two older computers that still serve my purpose. One, a Dell Dimension 4550 currently has 1GB of Crucial DDR 2700 memory. I would like to try Corsair memory, however, their Ram configurator recommends 2100 memory. If I read Rob's section on RAM correctly, with a 400 FSB I should be using 3200. Is that correct? Just bought 1GB of Corsair 2100 to try. Now I'm wondering if I got the wrong thing! Also have an HP Pavillion 540n with 512K ram. I would like to up that to 1GB. Again, according to Corsair's site, the 2100 memory is recommended. If the new memory I ordered won't help my Dell speed wise, should I buy 3200 memory for it instead of Corsair 2100. Hope this isn't too confusing because I think I AM confused! :confused: Thanks to everyone for your help.
Peace,Out.
