colonel_sanders.... So you are looking for .......
168 pin SD Ram .......

Well ......I could be wrong , but I think what you have is.....  Samsung M368L6423DTL-CBO   ...... 184 pins
512 MB-PC2100-CL 2.5 ........  
If I'm correct this Ram will not even fit the dimm socket in your pc ........

let us know

http://www.kingston.com/   also you should if possible find out how much ram your motherboard will support??
what is the make of this pc......

[colonel_sanders]

my comp has 2 slots both with only 128mb of ram. the make of my comp is a dell but the make of the comp i took the ram out of is a E Machines, that takes a AMD athalon XP proceesor

This will tell you what you have really got>

you will have to go to dell/hells website for the specs on upgrading your pc.......play safe.....dont kill it ...

[colonel_sanders]

i know all the specs for upgrading, i was just wondering what the ram i posted was to see if it would work in my dell (the ram i posted was from a comp at my house that is out of service), but if it realy is ddr ram then it wont work in a sd ram slot, right?

[dl65]

Well .....The number you posted seems to refer to ddr .......... you could count the pins .......168 = Sd Ram .......... 184 = ddr ......
Or you could install the app that Merlin suggested or pc wizard 2005   at .... http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3846.html  

it will look at your ram and let you know exactly what it is ....it will also give you a lot og other info about your pc ....

ill count the pins, tell me what the pins look like so i can count them and make sure it is ddr, thanks

[dl65]

colonel_sanders..... The pins are the contacts that plug into the dimm socket ..they are gold plated ...dont touch them with your fingers ................   I'm a bit concerned that you do not know what the pins are .........perhaps you should be taking the stick of ram you have to someone who can identify it for you ....just so it isnt danaged by mishandling ......

[colonel_sanders]

one more question, i also have a dell laptop that is old and we dont use it any more, would i be able to take ram out of it and put it in my desktop?

[dl65]

colonel_sanders.... Well that would depend on what type of ram is in the laptop.......
Post the model number of it and we can check it for you .

[colonel_sanders]
