Cheap DDR Ram
Hey guys, Can anyone help me find some cheap ram? I've got a Dell Dimension 8200, which obiviously has stupid DDR ram, and I only have 256MB. I'm looking for the cheapest possible way to upgrade this, cos I hear it has to be installed in symmetrical rows etc.

Anyone know of a cheap and easy way?

I just looked up the Dimension 8200.
you do not have double data rate (DDR) memory.
your system is built on the i850 chipset and supports rambus ram (RDRAM). PC800 RDRAM, specifically. Shop for that instead.
Good day.

yeah get the right RAM
open case
put case on stable ground
flip the modul holder to the left and right ...
set the module into the slot
put 1 finger left and one on the right side of the module
then carefully press the module in till it "clicks"
if its hard to press the module in give a little more pressure to one of the sides and press it in side by side

Thanks for all the quick help.
Feel like BIT of a retard, not even getting the type of memory in my machine right (DDR is the good stuff, how could I forget), thanks for clarifying that too.
Just to finally get this straight, cos it's dual channel, and I have 256MB, wanting to bump this up to 512, I need to buy a another pair of 128's, right?
