Currently i only have 512 megs of RAM inside my pc so i decided it would be a good idea to upgrade a little. I looked around a bit and saw that nova tech offered some nice cheap memory but some people have problems when using certain types of memory with dell brand pc's.

Specification

could anyone tell me if they think nova tech memory would work with my pc ? im looking to get atleast 512.

System Details:
Dell Dimension DIM5100
Intel[R]
Pentium[R] 4 CPU 3.00GHz
2.99GHz 512 of RAM
Physical Adress Extention

Also have a nvidia gfx card

die dell,die :evil:
sorry.............eeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr............... .yeah
basically ive heard that dells require special components, so they have to be supplied from dell at a higher rate to get upgraded.
There are some specialist dell component stores on the internet that can be quite cheap, i personally dont know about dells too much, apart from they are overpriced and eerrrrrrrrrr rubbish.
