ECC or non ECC ram?
I have an asus p4c800 deluxe mb on order. I'm trying to figure out what ram
to buy. There are two types of kingston ram you can get, ECC DIMM 2.5CL or DIMM 2.5CL. Also there is DIMM 3-3-3. Which RAM should i go for? What about the different numbers, like 2.5CL and 3-3-3? thx alan |

ECC is error correcting and is usually more expensive and not
normally used in desktops. 2.5CL is faster than 3. http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/sock...d/overview.htm Pick your RAM from here. "Alan" wrote in message ... I have an asus p4c800 deluxe mb on order.

The 333 refers to PC2700 or DDR333 RAM. - http://www.legge40.freeserve.co.uk/RAM.htm Try searching crucial.com for your motherboard. If its there, all of the RAM that the board runs will be provided plus the cost. Eric, PC Buyer Beware! http://www.legge40.freeserve.co.uk/BuyerBeware.htm |

For the un-listed vendors it's recommended buffered and ECC memory for 512m. |

I second the suggestion on trying www.crucial.com as they have a nice
feature where you plug in your motherboard model number and they tell you what memory sticks are compatible with it. "Eric Legge" wrote in message ... Subject: ECC or non ECC ram?
