Hi,

I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with 256 MB RAM. I'd like to get another
512. Kingston says that my system requires this particular model:
KTD4550 (http://www.ec.kingston.com/shop/modelsinfo.asp?SysID=16078&mfr=Dell&model=Dimension+2400&Sys=16078-Dell-Dimension+2400&SUBMIT1=Find)

Is this my only option? Can I get another brand, or is this the ONLY
stick that will fit in my machine?

If there is another trustworthy brand that I can use, where can I buy
it in Canada (obviously, only worth doing so if it's cheaper than the
Kingston model).

Thanks!

I'm guessing they gave you that link because they sell the product.

If this is your PC http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1610&page=1

then it will actually take any PC-2700 DDR memory. On the spec sheet
it mentions that it has only 1 module, I'm not sure if this means it
will only accept one stick of ram at a time. Maybe you'll have to buy
a bigger stick and get rid of your old one.

Hi, thanks for the comment. It is in fact my system. If you look at
the pictures, you will notice that there are TWO memory slots, you
just misunderstood (they said there was 1 FREE on a base system).

I figured that this model of memory is just what Kingston wants to
sell me. My original reason for this question is that I don't know if
there are any other trust-worthy, dependable brands that will approach
the Kingston price. Any thoughts?

Dimension 2400 only supports pc2100 and pc2700  type of memory. you
can purchase any brand as long as it is either PC2100 (266-MHz) or
PC2700 (333-MHz) DDR SDRAM (non-ECC) . and also the limit would be up
to 1gb. suggested brand would be apacer, samsung, corsair

Thanks for the info. I just today recieved from Tigerdirect.ca my my
new memory stick:

512 MB Ultra DDR PC2700 CL2.5

Gonna install it tonight, can't wait. Thanks!
