If you have a Dell there is a little 6 or 7 digit code on the back with a barcode on it. What is that code?

There are 2 stickers and i think this is the one you are looking for because its the only one with a 6-7 digit #: looks like this:
I I II II III II I II
F8XY251
II IIII II IIII I
theres more but i think this is the one

Try that link it gives you the upgrade for your machine. What kind of memory did you buy? Also you could call Dell and give them that number and they will tell you what kind of memory to buy. Don't buy the memory from them they over charge.

The link I sent you was for DDR 400 PC3200 memory. This is for DDR 333 PC 2700. I would call Dell and verify which you can use. But to answer your question, Corsair is good memory and if that the type you need it is a good buy.

Newegg is a solid site to get it from too.
