I would consult first the technical documentation on Dell web site, note
what type of memories your model can accept ( Bus clock speed is
important ). With those restrictions you should be able to use generic
SDRAM module. I think C800 may use the same modules as CPx: up to
256MB-100Mhz.
I considered bying a somewhat slower generic 128MB 4 months ago, but at
this time Dell offered it for lower! price ( ~$70 ), so I went fot it.
I remember I had a problem with generic memory in my old Latitude LM, it
recognised only half of the memory installed, but I managed to return
it. When I bought another pair ( by different manufacturer ) and it
worked fine.
