    does anyone know specific ram chips for a Dell Dimension E521?

    or should i just bring my computer in and have them fix it?

    You can get RAM in places like Best buy but it'll be cheaper online.

    ya i figured that, but its kind of a silly story..

    my bday was recent and so my dad bought me three gigs worth of ram and a vid card,

    the vid card workd fine but the ram is for a laptop,

    so now i HAVE to return them for store credit...
    so i may as well buy them there...
