MORE PC Ram, which one??

[Ben]

Based on the Dell technical forum the GX270's run on a 333mhz bus, (PC2700) DDR ram.

However found this listing of compatible memory for your machine. Based on the end code of each line below there seems to be a difference between the product listed for the desktop / mini tower against the Small form factor version.

Thanks for that Ben , nice of you to use up your time finding it all out for us, have you ever bought from these people before?

I haven't - however found them on the Dell forum for queries on memory.

I went onto http://www.dell.co.uk .. select technical .. and typed in GX270 .. then found the thread asking why certain memory wouldn't work in a GX270 ... then down the thread was listed that website.

You could also ring Dell direct and ask them what they would recommend - but you will pay premier prices ...
