You may be able to if it's older as pc100 was the normal format. But installing memory from a new computer into an old may be problematic. It should work though. Just stick in in until you hear a click from both ends, that means it's all the way in.

 

I don't know if its compatible, but here are a couple of pages from Dell that may help in installation:

General information on adding RAM for Dell Dimension 2400:

Dell Dimension 2400 manual page on removing and adding memory:

there both dell dimenisons 2400

 

You'll be ok then.

 

yay.

 

so i can just pop the ram in and i have 512mb ram now?

 

Exactly, unless there differences between the two models, but thats unlikely.
