What mhz is a dell inspiron 580?

[CorrosiveMarmite]

Either 2 of my ram connections or 2 of my ram sticks have died in my dell inspiron 580 and im down to 4gbs, im looking to replace it entirely but I can't find what mhz the ram is, different websites say different things, some say 1066mhz and some say 1333mhz, which is right?

ECC is error correction memory which is very expensive and used in some business applications. Most of the memory sold and used in computers is non-ECC which is fine.

Yes that RAM will work. Keep in mind that 32-bit Operating Systems can only adress 4 GBs of RAM regardless of how much more is installed. To utilize 8 GBs you must have a 64-bit Windows OS. To verify, download and install "SPECCY" - https://www.piriform.com/speccy
