since windows 98the only manufacture listed under SPD is nanya technologies. So i just call dell hotline or whatever and ask them to send me a whole set of 8 modules of RAM? or will it be easier just to buy some new ones and sell the old one's?
All Nanya...? Keep in mind that I don't know if that's the cause for your freezes but it was the issue on other XPS 8300 systems, so it's at least a place to start.
I'll ping my Dell tech contact to see if he can arrange for Dell to swap the RAM for you. He may either post in this thread or contact you via Private Message through your forum Inbox (next to your user name when you log in). It's Friday afternoon so give him a day or three to respond.
I don't work for Dell and -obviously- I can't promise that Dell will agree to a swap.
