What kind of RAM sticks be compatible with the DELL OPTIPLEX GX240 motherboard? I would like to put (2x1GB) sticks. I don't know the pin either. Would any hard drive work with this computer to?
Your DELL OPTIPLEX GX240 only supports 1 gb of ram, 2 512mb sticks , 1 per slot. The type of ram the pc uses is 133mhz sdram. Also depending on the type of case I would imagine the computer should support any size hdd weather it uses 2.5" (laptop style hdd's) or regular 3.5" hdd's.
I never realised how expensive old sdram is. but here a link to some, you would get two

Sometimes you can get away with having two different sticks of ram. I would say this , buy one stick and if it has any problems or doesn't work then you could get another. I think it would be ok to mix ram seeing as how your using sdram and not ddr. Your sure its 1 stick of 512 and not 2 of 256 sticks?
hello im looking for some help on my ram issue i just bought 2x 512 sdram for my dell optiplex gx 240 both working but only if i put in 1 stick at a time it wont run on both sticks so i had to put in 1 of my 256 sticks along with my 512 how can i run both 512 sticks
Since they both work sepeartely there probably not faulty. Make sure your bios is set to accept 1 gb of ram(there may be a ram setting for it somewhere. Other then that I'm not entirely sure as it should support 1 gb of ram.
What sticks did you buy? can you post a link to where you got them or the product page?
