View Full Version : I've run out of RAM
Just bought "Company of Heroes" for my Dell Dimension PC (which is spec'd for512 Mb RD RAM). Can't install the game, as it requires 1Gb of RAM, according to the install procedure. What's the best way to upgrade my RAM? Have tried Dell support online, but they don't seem to cater for my old Dimension 8200. It also seems that the Dell RAM in my PC is RDRAM, which apparently is a lot more expensive to upgrade. Grateful for any assisitance from you wizards out there.....

Crucial's memory finder page will help. Very good brand.

When i upgraded my ram i purchased 2x 512mb sticks instead if 1x512 so that both are matched. I am not sure on the price at the moment but it is reasonable compared to other upgrade options. Depends on how many spare ram slots you have too. mine only come with 3. I ended up with 2x512's and 1x256 which worked out well giving me that little bit extra above the recommended
