Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 7, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 7, 2005 According to what I can find, this system will only support DDR333 memory if you have a 533 FSB CPU. Please use our memory configurator to get the correct module for your system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clangren Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I have the same problem with two Dell Dimension 3000's, four beeps and then two and then nothing. My two machines came from Dell with 256MB of 400 in one module. Any further input would be most welcome. Thanks, Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 14, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 14, 2005 Cal what is the speed of your CPU and it's FSB and what is the part# of the modules you are trying to run in your system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clangren Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The CPU is 2.8 MGz and FSB is 533. Corsair number is VS1GB400C3. According to Dell Tech, the 400 module should work, but will run at 333. The only input I received from Dell which I could not confirm is the memory must be Non-ECC. I tried the module in two machines, same issue re: no boot.

Jackey Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hello All. My office just bought the DELL Dimension 3000 computer which its config is like this: CPU: Pentium4 2.8GHz (Probably is version A, without HT, 1MB level 2 cache) Motherboard: Unknown but with Intel i865GV Chipset Original memory kit: Nanya DDR-400MHz CL3 (Note: The chips are on one side/bank only.) Harddisk: 40GB I just bought a ValueSelect set which the number is VS1GB400C3, i just got the same experience that the two gentlemen have above, what is the problem? Thanks for answers, sharing and solution. B/R, Jackey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Recommended Modules for the Dell Dimension 3000 CMSS1GB-400 1GB CMSS1GB-333 1GB CMSS512MB-333 512MB CMSS512MB-400 512MB CMSS256MB-400 256MB CMSS256MB-333 256MB Basically, Value Select memory should be used to replace the OEM memory, not work with it. System Select memory (that's what's listed above) will work with the Dell memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackey Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Well, I have actually unplug the original Nanya memory and plug the two memory modules to the motherboard. (Actually, the motherboard from Dell only support two ram modules and hence it is neccessary to unplug the original one when plugging the two 1GB modules) I am disgusted of testing again because there's tons of work waiting for me, any gentlemen got the same experience?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 6, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 6, 2005 You would need to run the memory according to the speed of your CPU with this system. In other words if you have a 533 FSB CPU then you would need to use DDR333 memory. And I would suggest system select with any OEM system. Sorry!
