I'm not a Dell aficionado, so sorry if this question is a bit basic. I've ended up with the task of getting more RAM for one of my lab's computers and was wondering if I can just put generic (i.e. non-Dell) RAM into the machine.

It's a Dimension XPS T500 with 128 MB (168-pin, PC100, ECC) currently installed. The manual says the max system memory is 768 MB. Can I get a registered 512-MB DIMM (like what's advertised here: http://www.pcsforeveryone.com/pt-memory.html) and safely slap it into the computer?

The Dell website is strangely silent on this, instead encouraging people to buy Dell's (expensive) custom memory. Hmm...

Thanks!
