I use a lot of Dell server and always buy direct from Dell or use Kingston RAM. As its a server it deserves memory that costs a little more.<br />

Check this site out for Dell memory:-<br />

You can put your server's service tag in and it should tell you what modules you need.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, try the Kingston memory configurator:-<br />

<br />
This is what Cruicial says I need:<br />
<br />
DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 (ECC)<br />
DDR2 PC2-5300<br />
<br />
DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 128Meg x 72 • &nbsp; • &nbsp;Part #: CT908821<br />
<br />
The official PDF says: 256MB/4GB ECC DDR-2 400/533 SDRAM<br />
<br />
Dell Poweredge 800 is a server, doest it needs special server RAM<br />
Ive found a few chips online that fit the description above yet <br />
<br />

Dell Poweredge 800 - SERVER RAM Specifications

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
