Hey all,

I need to get some new ram for a friend's Dell Optiplex 280, it's a good 5 years old.

I asked him to run PC Wizard and save the log and have this information.

He is wanting 2GB, any recommendations?

Awesome, that what I was thinking. He doesn't need/want to upgrade really, he only uses it for word, excel and email.

Is PC2-4200/4300 the max he can get, as it is pretty rare? Can I get PC2-5300 or 6400 and have it work at a slower speed?
