Do I have to install memory in my Dell Dimension 2400 computer in pair of 2 such as 2-512mb?

you only need pairs if it is dual channel memory

It probably means that you have four slots for RAM, but you must install them in pairs.\n\n2 x 2 = 4

You can't mix and match memory, if your motherboard is setup for pc2700 then thats what you have to use, if its capable of reading 3200 then you'll have to replace all the ram (if you have 2 sticks you'll have to replace both)\nThe increase in speed from 2700 to 3200 is only 73mhz so unless you are going to double the existing memory (1gb to 2gb) you aren't gonna notice much if any difference.

YES! Your computer is showing the right count, 96 MB. Because, 2 RAMs of 64 MB each, means 128 MB total. Every normal PC needs 32 MB RAM for shared memory, for it's motherboard.\n\nSo...\n\n2 x 64 MB RAM = 128 MB - 32 MB Shared Memory == 96 MB.\n\nI hope, this answer helps you understanding the computer structure and it's needs for RAM.\n\n:-)

http://www.crucial.com  That site will show tell you the exact amount and type memory your system uses.\n www.newegg.com is a good place to buy from

First determine how much you need.  If all you use the computer for is Word Processing and printing than you probably don't even need to add memory.  But if you're convinced you need 512mb or 1gb (video editing, game playing, etc) read on.\n\nAt any electronics store, you can purchase "RAM".  "RAM" is computer lingo for memory.  If you're confused and you need help in the store, ask where they keep the ram sticks (they come in stick format).\n\nAfter you've made your purchase, usually the store will install it for a small fee.  The actual process is they open up the side of the computer, take out your old ram stick, put in the new one, and give you the old one back in the new box.  You should be good to go afterwards!\n\nAs for pricing, it can go anywhere from 50 dollars to 150 dollars depending on where you shop and how much ram you want.  The most ram I've ever seen in a computer that's readily available is 2gb, which is really overkill unless you're super multi tasking (video editing and processing along with playing a graphics intense game).

Step.1 Throw out old PC.\nStep.2 Buy new PC\nStep.3 Welcome to 2006.\n\nThere is no amount of memory that you can add to an old system with only 12Mb of mem that will make it perform any better. Your PC is a tortouse and needs to be severely replaced; unless of course, you just use it as a space heater, then 12Mb should be fine....

If you have the mother board on an intel chipset then it will take a percentage of ram by itself.\nYou cannot change that Neither is it required

2GB is the most memory your machine can handle

pc700 memory modules are not supported by this mobo (850 chip set) and may run at pc600 speed.\nto run dual channel mode, both ram modules have to be of the same size and speed. therefore a 128mb and a 512mb (btw with different speeds) will not work properly.\ntry to run both modules in bank 0 or remove the 128mb module and put the 512mb in bank 0.\n\nhere is the description from Intel\nhttp://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-009040.htm

Since you have a dell the chances are that your MB support a Pentium class processor- this would hugely upgrade your performance! See if you can find what "slot" type your processor is- infact being celeron it might be 478... Then your next step would be more memory... If you have any open slots then another 512 stick would be great. Newegg.com usually has great prices! These two components would be a great asset!

The difference in memory installed is probably being used by your video card.  It looks like around 22MBytes.

***Many lame answers*** 2 * 512 MB and I GB are same performance wise. However the 2 * 512 takes up two slots and may make it costlier if you plan to upgrade your laptop to 2 GB. In the first case you may have to throw both the existing memory cards and add two new 1 GB. In the other configuration you can by oly one new 1 GB card and upgrade to 2 GB. Or even you can  buy one 512 to upgrade to 1.5 GB. If I were you I will go with 1 * 1GB.

Okay, home computers come up to 1 terabyte of storage if you would like, are capable of having 2gb of RAM, two video cards with 1gb of ram each, the possibilites are endless, and your question is too vague.  But you're probly still looking for the "any" key, aren't you?

Get 512 Mb, or more if you can afford it.   Ideally you want to the the memory on 1 stick, not 2, to conserve the slots on your motherboard for future upgrades.   Be sure to buy the correct type of RAM for your motherboard.

It all dependes on the type of ram you're looking for,\ngo to this link http://www.crucial.com/ , use the memory advisor tool, it will tell you exactly what type of memory you would need for your system. Once you have that information just go online (www.newegg.com my favorite) and order the ram you need.
