I am helping a friend with her Dell computer and she has some kind of RAM in there I have never seen before. She has 4 slots, with 2 256 sticks and 2 sticks that seem to just be fillers. However, if you remove the fillers and have an open slot, it will not work. They are not actualy memory as it has not circuits on it, just flimsy plastic that says DELL across it. It does have pins though.....Also the RAM she has in there has two slits in the middle of the stick, I have never seen that before. It seems to be less than 240-pins but I am not sure to be honest. She was wanting to buy some more to have a full gig, but I can not find anything like it on newegg. Any ideas what kind of ram this might be? Thanks.
