Question 1

This is the # I was told by the Geek Squad to get but they specified 4 GB.  this says it 2 x 1 GB.  ????

Accepted Answer

This is the one you should get to have 4GB total: The 2X1GB means that it take two of thiese memory module to make to 2GB so they are 1GB each. Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Desktop Memory Model 991756 Buy two of these they are 2GB each so two of them will give you 4GB They are the same specifications as the ones you described only that they are 2GB on board on each module. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226087&cm_re=240-Pin_DDR2_SDRAM_DDR2_667_%28PC2_5300%29-_-20-226-087-_-Product

Question 2

according to the specs of my 2007 iMac, the memory is 200 pins which obviously would fail to connect to a 240 pin, wouldn't you say?

Accepted Answer

The specs for a iMac (mid 2007) indicate the that computer is configured to support PC2 5300.  The problem occurs when you are defining PC2 5300 laptop and desktop memory.  Desktop PC2 5300 is configured as 240 Pin and PC2 5300 laptop memory is configured in a smaller 200 pin configuration.  If my memory serves me correctly, the iMac has an access panel in the center of the back of the unit which is where the memory is located underneath.  I am also pretty confident that these iMac's use the 200 Pin PC2-5300 laptop memory cards.

Question 4

Can I use this memory for my Dell gx620 SFF?

Accepted Answer

My best answer would be no: I did some research and found your specs on a dell site in a pdf. Your hardware can support memory at speeds of 533mhz and unfortunately the memory on this page is memory speed 667 or 5300 which will not work for you setup. I did find memory on Newegg that will work on your hardware for a reasonable price here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA3SD2715054&cm_re=240_DDR2_533mhz_ram_-dimm-_-9SIA3SD2715054-_-Product The memory I linked for you should work, even though it states it is for something else (apple power mac) the memory with specs you need will work on your hardware.

Question 5

May I ask please, will this work with an Acer Aspire One? I've been looking at tutorials for dissembling it and installing more RAM but I'm not certain if this is compatible. (I have little screws drivers and patience, ha ha.) Thank you very much for your help! :)

Accepted Answer

No, this memory will not work.  This is DESKTOP PC memory.  Search for this item (laptop memory) in Newegg: 200pin PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SO-DIMM Memory.

Question 6

I got a Dell Precision T7400 Workstation. Is this RAM compatible?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the board, if its factory built then you can look up the stats on company's support pages. If its more than 5 or 6 yrs old, I would be hesitant since higher memory is not usually backwards compatible.

With all that said, I've had very frustrating experiences with Corsair Memory. If you dont want to replace in next year or so, go for the HyperX sort.  Hope that helps
