Thanks for the quick response! &nbsp;So much for the Crucial memory tool! &nbsp;If it wasn't for the fact I didn't have any in stock, I would have only put 1 GB on here! &nbsp;2 GB is a big jump from the 256 it had!

I have a Dell Dimension 2350 I am working on right now. &nbsp;It came with 256 MB of Ram. &nbsp;according to Crucual.com and a few other results that a Google search turned up, it will only take 512 MB per slot for a total of 1 GB of Ram. &nbsp;However, I don't have any 512 MB Dimm's in stock, but I do have 1 GB dimm's in stock that fit this machine. &nbsp;For the fun of it I tried loading up 1 GB in one of the slots and it runs just fine. &nbsp;I'm typing this message from this machine now. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there any harm in running it if the motherboard recognizes it and Windows XP does as well? &nbsp;This is a relatively important machine to the client, but the also want it back today as well.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance! &nbsp;I'm on-site now so 500 points to the quickest (correct) reply!

Dell Dimension 2350 says max ram 1 GB but it takes 2GB, can I run that?

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
