Title says it all. I'm screwed. Description stated it was compatible with my Dell Dimension 4700 but wasn't and now the original mem stix won't boot either. Did not attempt to exceed capacity as it is listed as 4GB for this machine with the standard 266
Immediate start up yields 4 internal buzzes, followed by 2 more. Nothing on screen. I tried each stick alone to see if one was bad, but all failed. Then returning my originals to the slots, same symptom. So buying and trying this product it appears I lost the whole PC.
Originals are 2700s but description says 32's (400) are compatible...they weren't and possibly destroyed my PC. Good grief.

I returned the original stix, that didn't work before after the machine was powered down for about 2 hours. It came back. Leave well enough alone, right? Not me I'm my own worst enemy sometimes...
I got an idea that if I added a stick at a time, I'd see if they took. I added one, booted up and it took. Powered down added another, it took. Powered down replaced 1 512 it took. Powered down replaced the last original stick and it took. I was thinking the configuration change was so overwhelming that it didn't like a total swap out, whether that was relevant or not I don't know, but that's how I brought it back. My apologizes about the 'salesman' crack above.
It's an old machine using WP Prof SP3 32 bit. I found out that when you check the 'basic information' under Performance and Maint. under the Start Menu, these machines will use 4GB of Ram, but show less than that when you check it. I've read users saying 3, 3.2, 3.5GB is showing up; mine says 3.62GB. It seems the system is using it all I understand, but can't read all of it for the basic information feature of the 32 bit XP version.
Giving 4 stars cuz it works, will update rating after use if needed. chow.

Works great with Dell Dimension 2400!

I upgraded Dell Dimension 2400 from 1GB to 2GB, now it works great. It looks little overpriced if we compare with PC2 or PC3 RAM but for this old computer(Dell Dimension 2400) this is the cheapest option on found on Amazon.
