Hi gang

I recently got a P4 2.4 gig Dell optiplex GX260 Tower, model: DMH.

What I was wondering was how fast of memory modules it can handle, I have a 256 (266mhz) memory module that originally came in the computer. I got a 512 (333mhz) module to add to it.

It defaults back to the 266mhz module speed, which I know that when using 2 different speed modules the computer defaults to the slowest speed chip. Would anyone know what speed of 2100 DDR memory I can use in the tower I.E. 333 or 400 MHZ memory?

The processor is a 533 FSB 2.4 gig Intel processor. And also would i be able to upgrade to a faster processor?

Thanks in advance. :wave:

Crucialmemory.com gives the following on your model.

# Maximum Memory: 2048MB

# Standard Memory: 128MB removable

# Slots: 2 (2 banks of 1)

# USB Support: 1.x Compliant

Each memory slot can hold DDR PC2700,DDR PC3200 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.*

Crucial recommends the PC2700 chips

A 1gig stick is about 60.00

Well, thanks to your help Paw, I invested in a 1 gig 3200 memory chip from Sam's Club.

They had them for about $69 something and with the tax it came to almost $75. Now the computer has the memory that i need for a while (1.5 gig). I will be investing in another 1 gig memory module when finances allow.

Thanks again for the info Paw. :wave::wave:
