Hello,

I want to upgrade my Dell Dimension 8200 with the 2.26 P4 processor. I have 2 Gigs of PC-800-45 ns RDRAM and the machine halts with the message I need 40 ns sticks. Is there any work around so I can use the 2 gigs of 45NS.

Thanks,

Bob

Thanks for your quick reply.

The Dell Dimension 8200 boots fine with the 256 Mgs of 40ns memory. When I use the 1 Gig of 45ns memory from my old Dell OptiPlex the 8200 computer halts and displays a message that says I need 40 ns memory. Is there a jumper setting to change the wait state or clock speed so the slower memory sticks will work?

Again, thanks for your help.

Bob
