Bobdosr Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hi. I just bought this 512MB pair of Corsair TWIN2X1024A-4300C for my Optiplex GX280 sff. I put in both modules in every possible configuration including one stick at a time in either memory slot and all that I get is a repetitive beeping. My monitor won't even come on. But as soon as I put the old memory back in everything works fine. I tried to look up the Dell GX280 on the corsair memory compatibility site but they don't have the small form factor GX280 listed. They have the tower listed which has 4 DIMM slots. On the Dell support site there is mention that the 2 slots on the SFF are interleaved - does that make a difference? Or, is it just my luck to have gotten dead sticks? Returning these sticks is not a problem, however if these didn't work, would the suggested memory from the corsair memory configurator work, considering it is for the Tower GX280 which has a slightly different configuration? Thanks in advance to anyone who can be of help.:): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I can't say about that DRAM but I found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustratingReview.asp?item=N82E16820145526 VSS512MB533D2 Lot Number 0432058-1 If you look at the bottom of the reviews you will see this DRAM seemed to make the grade. Can you exchange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobdosr Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks, yes I had already noted that particular product rating on Newegg. I actually got the RAM from them and their RMA policy is really good. Well, I think I'll go with those sticks instead. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
