From: Christopher Muto on 24 Apr 2008 08:57 right. where did you buy it, if online tell people the make/model so they don't make the same mistake. you can at least turn your bad experience into a positive one for the next person by helping them to avoid the same fate. if the retailer gives you a hard time about returning it tell them that it is not correctly labled as it is not backwards compatible with *all* machine that accept pc2100 or pc2700 memory, in fact it is not even compatible with all machines that take pc3200!

From: Christopher Muto on 24 Apr 2008 11:20 i understand you bought the memory on ebay. hopefully the buyer will take it back when you make them aware of your efforts and this thread... it might even help him/her avoid making the same grand promise of compaitibily to other buyers... you could buy your 2x1gb memory module from cricual for about $91, and that is a safe bet, but you could also look at "pc3200 2gb kit" (two 1gb desktop modules - careful not to select notebook type memory) for as little as $62 shipped. if you look in the user comments you will find some people confirming that they work in dimension 3000 machine which are based on the same chipset as your dimension 1100. however, newegg does charge a 15% restocking fee and you loose postage if they are incompatible... but i doubt that will happen with the $66 gskill kit from newegg. but unfortunately these value ram manufactures can sometimes change the product without notice. yet the savings vs crucial is significant...
