Hello, Is shows that you can use a DDR266 & DDR333 SDRAM Memory for this computer the one on the link that you have given it says that the kingston is is DDR400 SDRAM, so it is not compatible w/ your system. the link below will give you the manual of this device "http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim2400/en/F75560LRs.pdf"

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. The Ram is compatible with the system but it won't maximize the speed of 400 Mhz since the memory type of the systems is PC2700 (333-MHz) DDR. In short it is PC3200 400MHz is backward compatible with the system.

Please see Dell Dimension 2400 Specs

Thanks for using Fixya.

Hi,

The memory that posted on the your post is indeed compatible as the system requires DDR SDRAM PC3200 400MHZ.

Also if you want to purchase it from Dell itself with price (not subject to change depends on Dell) please click on the link.

Also if yuo want step by step instruction with visual on how to install the memory that you purchased, please click on the link.

I hope this will be helpful to you.

Thank you for choosing Fixya
