I needed a cheap pc to use as a Media Centre so I purchased a Dell Dimension 8400 with a 500GB Sata drive on eBay, I downloaded the Crucial scanner checked my system then purchased 2GB of Crucial 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300, NON-ECC memory to replace the 500MB it came fitted with. The memory was easy to fit 10 minutes max and it transformed the performance, I can now watch, surf and record to my hearts content :)

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Dell Dimension 8400 Series System:

I use my PC for home and (very) small business purposes. I previously had 2 x 512 modules installed which were the "factory fit" articles. Upgrading to 4 x 1GB DDR2 (the maximum memory the system would take) has made it run more smoothly, particularly in terms of video and using IE8.

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Dell Dimension 8400 Series System:

I installed this memory easily on my machine but did not notice a significant improvement in performance when loading memory hungry applications (e.g. Dreamweaver). After 2 days, my machine blue screened and corrupted my hard drive. Fortunately, I keep regular back ups of my hard drive but it still took 3 days to re-build the machine.

Service & Delivery comments:

Great tools for identifying the memory to order. Promptly delivered by Crucial and promptly refunded when I returned the goods.
Excellent customer services but shame about the product quality.
