Dell memory question

    I have two Dell Optiplex GX260 PCs at work that I'm trying to upgrade the RAM in. Originally thay had Kingston KTD4400 PC2100 DDR RAM in them. I have a quote from Dell for some 1G modules of PC2100 RAM now, but the price is astronomical. I can get 2x1G PC3200 DIMMs from Komplett for €185 but I'm not sure if the Dells will take the faster RAM.

    Does anyone know for certain if the PC3200 will work in a GX260? Both the Kingston and the Corsair RAM from Komplett are non-ecc and unbuffered 184-pin, so I'm guessing it should be OK.

    www.shop4memory.com is great with prices, much cheaper every time than Dell/IBM etc...
    I saved 2k last week by buying 8GB from them instead of IBM dor AIX machines.
    Just use their configurator to choose your PC and it will select the correct ram for you.
    Also they are an Irish company!

    Yeah, tried them but they don't list the GX260, just a 240. Also tried crucial.com as they have a similar configurator. Unfortunately neither stock anything bigger than 512M modules anyway in PC2100, which are no good to me as there's only two slots in the motherboard and I need 2G RAM.
