    Does any one know if the Inspiron 8600 will accept
    PC3200 DDR 400mhz memory? If so, is there any noticeable performance
    gains?
    Thanks.

    Someone correct me if I am in error here . . . Your system was designed to work with DDR PC2700 333Mhz memory . . . And as such, will not perform beyond those parameters. So, no, you will not realize any performance gains, assuming that the said memory would work and/or be recognized by your system.



    Dell Inspiron 8600:
    * 1.6 Ghz Pentium M * 1024 MB DDR SDRAM * 100 Gb Seagate Momentus 5400 Rpm HD * 15.4" WSXGA+ * Internal Bluetooth * Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 * 4x CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) * ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo 128 MB * Win XP Pro SP2 *

    * Apple 17" PowerBook G4 * 14" Toshiba Tecra 8000 * Apple 14" iBook G4 *
