rongoej Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I have a new Dell XPS420 and I want to replace the factory installed RAM with 4GB, specifically the TWIN2X4096-6400C5G kit. That should work right? To be honest I haven't built a system since high school so I'm very much out of the loop when it comes to hardware. That particular memory doesn't require any special settings that a standard Dell motherboard couldn't handle, right? I don't know who made the motherboard but it has the Intel X38 chipset and supports DDR2 RAM at 667 or 800MHz (up to 8GB). I checked the compatibility site but the 420 isn't listed there. Thanks!

Wired Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 That memory will not be compatible. The VS series may be compatible, but I'd wait for Ram Guy to give you an official answer. FYI, Dells aren't normally tweakable, even the XPS series, although there are rare exceptions. Dell loves to lock their stuff down. IIRC there is a Dell model that comes with Corsair memory, but it's proprietary and can only be bought through Dell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 4, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 4, 2008 I would suggest getting the memory from Dell for your system, the memory we make for them is made to their specification and our off the shelf parts may not work on their system.
