Weirdest RAM slots I have ever seen...

[orangecat]

So i opened a DELL Dimension 8300 and saw the weirdest RAM slots ever. There is a reason for them being like this because with the case closed the HDDs and optical drives would hit the ram but its just weird to see.

Yup. That's Dell for ya. Those lovely clamshells. I work on those all the time.

Looks pretty common to me. Well, I guess my opinion is null since I've worked in IT support.

Those are common in laptops. They are usually for fitting normal DRAM sticks in a small space.

I can't even get this system to boot XP install so right now ti has ubuntu 14 on it with 100% no 2d acceleration so its unusable.

I hate... proprietary Dell systems.... with a passion.

The press down ones are common in laptops, these aren't press down, they're just awkwardly angled.  Thing you need to remember is the Dimension 8300 is a desktop model, a really goofy one,
