    Hey I got a Dell DIMENSION C521. Im looking for ram for it. I opened up my computer and wrote down the type of ram it is.
    -I have 2 512MB 1Rx8 PC2
    -The mother board chip is Nvidia S6100154 0641A3.

    Anyway I havent bought ram in a long time and I forget how to go about it properly. I know its PC2 ram but I feel like im missing something and I dont want to order the incorrect ram. Is there anyway I can find out what kind of ram i exactly need?

    I just checked the dell website and it says for my computer type the ram is this.

    Your Dimension C521 System Specs
    System specs as shipped by the manufacturer.
    Scan your system to view your specific system configuration.
    Memory:
    DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 PC2-6400

    Does that mean I can put either the pc2 5300 in there or the pc2 6400 in the computer and they both will work? If so should I get the 6400 I presume?
