Documentation: support.dell.com/.../en Memory:   Heatsink/processor:   Since the server supports PC2100 memory, it is likely that it cannot handle PC3200.  Memory will usually work a step or two above the supported spec, BUT not always.
Hello, Recently I inherited a 2600 to upgrade and maintain.  I decided to upgrade both the CPU to a 2.8GHz/512K/533MHz Zeon and the original 512Mb of 2100 DDR Ram to 2x1Gb PC3200 DDR1.  My question is first how do I remove the heatsink  for the CPU as there isn't any manuals or tutorials to find (all suffer from link rot).  And for the ram, will the modules default to 2100?  If not how do I configure the system so they work?  Will I be able to include the previous modules 2x256Mb PC2100 later? Thanks any help or suggestions are appreciated :emotion-40:
