I have a Dell GX280 and it has 2 256MB PC2-3200 dimms installed in it.
I purchased 2 1GB PC2-6400 dimms to upgrade it.
However, when I tried to install the dimm, they wouldn't fit.
I visually compared the two dimms and the notch is off by a 1/4" if that. Maybe 2 pins off when I you hold the dimms one on top of the other.
I have been out of the loop on memory standards for a while now, but I thought all DDR2 memory was supposed to adhere to the same design, pin count and notch placement.
Any ideas?
