I have a Dell Dimension 1100 Desktop/PC I did a scan on Cruical and
it said it uses PC3200 yet the stick says PC3200U. I tried the PC3200
sticks and it won't work. Does something have to be done to fix this
or do I have to search for PC3200U sticks?

I would think it would work???? Usually Crucial.com is not wrong. I
think the U stands for unbuffered.

PC3200U and PC3200 are simply different designations for common unbuffered
unregistered desktop memory, as compared to buffered and/or registered used in
servers... Ben Myers

why don't you completely detail what make/model/size memory you atempted to
install in your dimension 1100 desktop and what error message you received.
i suspect that you may have purchased a high density pc3200 module that is
not compatible with your machine. the dimension 1100 shipped with either
pc2700 or pc3200 modules and though some pc3200 modules are compatible not
all are (as you have seen). what *exactly* did you buy and have trouble
with?

I guess it is the high density. Thanks for the tip.
SIZE: 2GB/2048MB (2x1GB)

right. where did you buy it, if online tell people the make/model so they
don't make the same mistake. you can at least turn your bad experience into
a positive one for the next person by helping them to avoid the same fate.
if the retailer gives you a hard time about returning it tell them that it
is not correctly labled as it is not backwards compatible with *all* machine
that accept pc2100 or pc2700 memory, in fact it is not even compatible with
all machines that take pc3200!

i understand you bought the memory on ebay. hopefully the buyer will take
it back when you make them aware of your efforts and this thread... it
might even help him/her avoid making the same grand promise of compaitibily
to other buyers...
you could buy your 2x1gb memory module from cricual for about $91, and that
is a safe bet, but you could also look at "pc3200 2gb kit" (two 1gb desktop
modules - careful not to select notebook type memory) for as little as $62
shipped. if you look in the user comments you will find some people
confirming that they work in dimension 3000 machine which are based on the
same chipset as your dimension 1100. however, newegg does charge a 15%
restocking fee and you loose postage if they are incompatible... but i doubt
that will happen with the $66 gskill kit from newegg. but unfortunately
these value ram manufactures can sometimes change the product without
notice. yet the savings vs crucial is significant...

'for as little as $63 shipped' should read 'for as little as $62 shipped
from newegg.com'
