    That's DDR2 ECC RAM, so you're looking for an old server (think 2007 or older).

  • It looks like you should be looking at servers like Dell Power Edge 2XXX The 2790 take PC2-5300R instead of "P". Im not sure what the difference would be for those 2 MEMORY DIMMs. You will have to look that up. Also carefully read this thread: en.community.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/956/t/19317822 Also googling this: "Dell servers with PC2 ram" produces a lot of good results.

both of them take PC2_5300 RAM
