Your Dell Precision Workstation uses PC2-5300 type memory.
Your Dell Precision Workstation can support up to 64GB of memory. For optimal performance install the maximum amount of memory in each socket.
Your system comes standard with 2GB of RAM. If you have upgraded your system then you may have a different amount.
A memory kit is comprised of 2 memory modules. For example, a 1GB memory kit has two 512MB memory modules. This is abbreviated as (2x512MB).
Yes. Your Dell Precision Workstation requires memory to be installed as a kit because it requires memory to be installed in pairs within a bank. To make it easier for you to install memory that will be compatible, the memory modules available for purchase above are sold in kits.
A bank is a group of memory sockets. A socket is where a memory module is inserted. A bank can have one or more sockets.
One or more of the sockets in your system is already filled with memory. When you upgrade your system, you can either add memory to one of the open sockets and/or remove memory from a filled socket and replace it with a higher capacity memory module.
Your Dell Precision Workstation 690 (1KW model memory riser cards) has 8 banks of 2 sockets each for a total of 16 memory sockets.
*We recommend you upgrade your computer to the latest BIOS revision prior to upgrading your memory.
Current 32-bit operating systems can use a maximum of 4 GB of address space; however, the amount of memory available to the operating system is less than that installed.
Matched sets of four should be installed first into DIMM_1 on each riser board and then DIMM_2 on each riser board, and so on.
Memory modules must be installed in kit pairs of matched memory size, speed and technologies, and the total number of modules in the configuration must total four.
Purchase and install kits in pairs.
ETC tests each RAM module to ensure compatiblity with your Dell system. The memory modules listed above are guaranteed to work in your Dell Precision Workstation 690 (1KW model memory riser cards).

Purchased this memory for a Dell Percision 490 workstation to run ANSYS-12 FEA on some development work being done. Total amount purchased was 16Gb. Memory was Samsung (largest OEM memory manufacture).
This memory works excellent. With the FREE shipping, the product arrived within three days and very well packed. Good instructions to install as well.

I purchased six 2.0 GB upgrade kits for Dell WS 690. That is twelve 1.0 GB modules. A really cost effective way to improve performance of three workstations. Other memory vendors were priced $25 to $50 higher per upgrade kit. No real problems were encountered.

I purchase from Edge Tech because the memory I from there is always correct for the machine I am installing it into and their prices are very competitive. Additionally, I never have issues with Edge Tech memory after installation.

I have ordered memory for several of our Dell servers. The Edgetech configurator is easy to find the correct memory for each server model. I have had no memory problems with any of these servers.

I have ordered from numerous vendors throughout the years, from CDW to TigerDirect. Not only were the EdgeTech prices unbeatable, but they also had my shipment to me in a very speedy time and very well packed. Memory is a sensitive product, especially in server quality, and EdgeTech does very well in handling this.

The new DELPC00004GFB667KT memory boards that I installed in my Dell Precision 940 work station works wonderfully. It has not forgotten a single thing that I have fed it, that I can remember. The Edge technician that I talked to when ordering the memory was a great help also.
Memory or RAM is a piece of hardware in your computer that holds software applications that you are working on. It serves as temporary working space between your computer’s hard drive and CPU.
Adding memory will improve your computer’s performance. Specifically, it will speed up opening new applications, running multiple applications at once, and switching between software applications (multi-tasking).
One task that additional memory speeds up is opening a new software application. Let’s take this as an example. When you open a new application on your computer, your computer’s CPU fetches the application from the hard drive and stores it in RAM memory. It stores it in RAM because RAM is very fast relative to the hard drive. When RAM gets full, and you open a new application then the CPU needs to kick out one of your open applications, put it back on the slow hard drive, fetch the new application from the hard drive, and place the new application in RAM. Basically, it swaps the applications.
This game of swapping wastes time. Ideally, your computer could have an infinite amount of RAM. Then your CPU would fetch an application once from the hard drive, save it into RAM, and never need to kick out another application. There is no such thing as infinite RAM, but you can max out the RAM on your computer by adding the maximum amount of memory to each socket.
To max out your RAM memory, add the maximum amount of memory to each memory socket. To find out how much RAM each socket can support, divide the system maximum RAM amount by the total number of sockets in your system.
For example, if your system maximum RAM is 2GB, and your system has 2 total sockets then the maximum amount each socket can support is 1GB. If one of the sockets is already filled then you can always remove the existing module and replace it with a higher capacity module.
No. The 1975 Magnusson-Moss Act prevents OEM manufacturers from disqualifying a warranty when 3rd party memory is used. For more details, please see the Magnuson-Moss Act.
Memory speed refers to the amount of time that memory (RAM) takes to put data into its memory or send it out. Your device’s memory will have an upper limit on the speed at which it can operate.
A memory kit is a number of memory modules sold as a unit or a kit. For example, a 1GB memory kit will contain two 512MB modules. This is written as (2x512MB).
