My computer takes RDRAM..can I use any other kind?

Yes, I have a dell dimension 8200...pentium 4 processor...

Anyway...Can I use other kinds of ram on my PC? I need more memory..but honestly, I can't afford RDRAM. I've noticed DDR and SDRAM are VERY much cheaper.

Thanks.

Installed in pairs? Yes I got stuck with the same problem. You have to use RDRAM, I thought only gateway used that #$!#* memory.

Sorry I didn't have better news 256mb isn't the worst you could have. Just looking at the bright side/

RDRAM is going to be it, sorry. I know it sucks. Try eBay.
