Hi everyone !!!
I have a Dell Inspiron 5150, with an A38 BIOS , a 2.8 GHz processor and a 60GB hard drive in it. I know that it calls for PC2700 RAM, up to 2GB. I want to know , since PC2700 is so expensive, if PC2100 will work in it just fine ?
The hard drive turns at 7,200 RPM's and I have Windows XP Pro.
Any and all info will be of great help !!!

After looking at the prices of the PC2100 and the PC2700...I will just go with the PC2700. There wasn't much a difference in price.
