what memory shall I buy for my Poweredge 400sc which is 4+ years old?

[Mike]

Hi all,

My Poweredge 400sc was from the year 2004. It has a P4 3.2Ghz CPU. But I
don't know what memory does it use. I want to expand memory. Can anybody
tell me what special type of memory shall I buy for this Poweredge 400sc PC?

In the future, if you must crosspost, keep it to relevant groups only,
setup_deployment is not a relevant group.

Have you contacted Dell technical support? I would suggest posting a
question in the Dell Community Forum.

There's also this:

I would like to suggest in future that if you really must cross-post, do
so to the fewest number of relevent newsgroups. You do not have a
question about Windows XP.

It is absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the
manufacturer's web site for specific instructions and compatibility
requirements.

If you cannot lay your hands upon the computer's manual and the
manufacturer doesn't provide a support web site, you can use these
utilities to help determine the correct type of RAM needed:

Also, Crucial Memory's web site (www.crucial.com) has a database to
help to find the right RAM for your specific make and model computer
and/or motherboard. (Incidentally, Crucial is the only company from
which I ever buy RAM. I've never been disappointed.)
