i have a Dell Computer Corp. 0F5949 A01 motherboard with 512mb of ram. i want to upgrade that but being a teenager my funds are quite limited. i dont know if the mhz have to be the same but mine has 400 and i have no clue if it has 240 or 184 pin. all i could find at staples.com was $40 for 512mb and $80 for 1gb but i found DDR2 at walmart that was 1gb (i know its the wrong kind) for $35. it all makes no sense please help!
older ram is more expensive than the new faster stuff. i went to buy a 512 stick of PC133 and it was like $60. i guess it is harder to manufacture. that and they aren't making as much of the old stuff anymore.
