I just recently tested my Dell. I experience the exact behavior as Jonathan and Andrew: memtest86 throws a bunch of errors then locks up.

I'm going to have faith in Dell and let it be for now. Weighing in that decision is that I just don't have time to return and buy a new computer for my mom (she'll be using it on her clinic).

Can someone confirm to me the type of RAM that I need to get for this machine? I don't know where my invoice is and need to purchase some more.

PC2100 Registered ECC. That's what Dell sent me, and what I bought more of. (I didn't check whether the motherboard is capable of using higher speed RAM or not, I just assumed Dell must have sent me the fastest RAM that would work.)

Their prices seemed to the lowest at the time, so I bought mine at newegg.com. I've ended up buying a large percentage of my computer stuff at New Egg, they're a good vendor. techbargains.com is a good place to compare RAM prices. Sometimes Crucial's prices are actually the best but usually not.
