That website is wrong.

It says right in your specs that you need PC133 ram. That website is trying to sell you PC100 ram = not work.

Good thing I didn't order it. I'm not so much a computer guy. I'm good with wood and wiring. I've had a friend help me with most of the software stuff.

The machine is done...just got to nail down this slow MAME thing...

Here's the manual for my machine.

Does the ram thing make sense to any of you?

meltman:

Yeah, It just shows you how to put it in.

A quick google search for "Optiplex GX150 ram" confirms that you need a PC133 DIMM. It must be NON ECC or "not registered" ram. Your dell manual states that.

Try getting another 128meg stick from another source than the one you originally tried.

Thanks for the advice.

This is what I got.

I'm going to still try an older version of MAME to see if I have any luck. Thank you very much for the advice.
