According to Kingston's website it takes 200-Pin DDR2 533 but it directs me to Dell specific ram (it is a dell but the dell specific ram is more expensive). I assume that the below ram will work fine even though it's not dell specific. Will it work?

I built my own desktop last year but I never heard of dell specific ram.
