XMS and Dell Dimension 4600

I recently purchased TWINX1024-3200C2P, XMS ram, and when I installed it into my computer and tried to start it up it let out of a series of beeping sounds and did not start. I was wondering can a DELL DIMENSION 4600 use this type of ram? Thank you in advance.

Nope. Dell BIOSes are notorious for not being able to change memory settings, and when faced with non-standard settings, they'll just not work with them at all.

 

Compatible Corsair memory:

 

CMSS1GB-400 1GB

CMSS1GB-333 1GB

CMSS512MB-333 512MB

CMSS512MB-400 512MB

CMSS256MB-400 256MB

CMSS256MB-333 256MB

And your system will only support DDR400 if you have an 800 FSB CPU.

If the FSB of your CPU is 400 For Intel and 100 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports only DDR 266.

If the FSB of your CPU is 533 For Intel and 133/166 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 266/333

If the FSB of your CPU is 800 MHz for Intel and 200 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 333/400
