It's called RDRAM a.k.a. Rambus. And yes, it's expensive because it's proprietary and no longer used in new systems. And no, you can't really use any other type.
But you can do better than Dell prices. 18004memory.com lists 512MB for around $200.

Until today, I had never heard of PC800 ram. Unfortunately, Dell wants $480 for a 512mb stick of PC800 ram. Is there a different type of ram I can use on this machine? ANything out there that will be backward compatible with a slower system like this?
