I have a DELL Dimension 3000. I plan on upgrading my computer memory from 512mb (2X256) to 1 gb and I'm wondering if I should buy DELL memory, or if the after market stuff I see at BestBuy is just as good. The DELL stuff is a bit pricier so if there really isn't much difference I'd opt for the aftermarket stuff.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

The Best Buy stuff is fine. Its usually Kingston or some other well-known brand. Just make sure it is the right ype (DDR, DDR2, etc.) and is compatible with your front-side bus speed.

Thanks for the input. I used the DELL memory tool to ID exactly what I needed and I'm going to take that to the store so I can be sure I get the right thing.

 

Thanks again for the help.

I just installed the new memory (2 X 512mb). It took less than 5 minutes, and I'm AMAZED at how much faster my machine works!! Should have done this a long time ago.

 

Thanks for the tips, they proved useful.
