Hey guys,
I'm in need of help upgrading the ram on my computer. I have a Dell OptiPlex, the big tower; and I bought RAM to upgrade my work PC from 4GB to 8GB and eventually upgrade it to 16GB. The ram was 2 sticks of DDR3, the recommended type. Each stick 4GB totaling eight. But when I installed the 8GB the computer rejected it and I was forced to go back to the 4 lousy gigs. I'm thinking I either bought a non-compatible version of the DDR3, or it was defective. Links in below of my computer and the RAM I bought. Oh! I should also mention that I troubleshoot the issue before giving up and going back to the original RAM. Please help me get my PC's RAM upgraded.
