"Banks" was co-opted by the DRAM manufacturers when they put multiple semi-independent arrays in each DRAM. So the DIMM manufacturers had to switch to "Ranks" ;-) and what does it mean, exactly? "Rank" wrt to DIMMs means the same as "Bank" used to mean. A "Rank" is the smallest addressable collection of DRAMS on a DIMM that spans the width of the memory interconnect to which it is connected... /daytripper |

I do not want to get something that is bound to fry up sooner or later. Newegg is a quality reseller. I wouldn't buy form another, except memory. 'tripper is right, as usual. Go to Crucial. George MacD has some contrarian views based on part numbers and the number of ranks, but I still stick with Crucial. If it don't work they replace it. ...forever. The better news is that I've never had to call 'em on their bet. For some reason, the newegg price for the cl2 memory I just spec'd out was $2 cheaper than the same memory direct from Crucial! *Exactly* the same memory? Including shipping? Also, note George's comments earlier this month. The stuff Newegg was selling was actually better (single rank). No, there is no one "best" answer, but I always fall on the crucial-direct side for memory, and newegg for pretty much everythign else. ...unless there is a huge reason to go elsewhere. I hadn't seen george's comments, but I'll look for them. It was exactly the same memory - this one: CT32M64S8D7E However, taking the shipping into account they came out pretty much even. I just looked again today, and neweggs supersaver shipping increased slightly. Crucial works out better now ! To me ties, or anythign close, for memory devices go to Crucial. Newegg for all else. -- Keith |

I checked out memory the other day and Crucial pc3200 was cheaper at NewEgg
than direct from Crucial. I have had memory replaced by Crucial and they do back up (honor) the lifetime warranty. But for only the original buyer. R |

OTOH, moons ago there were "lifetime warrantys" on watch main-springs. When it broke the owner was told that the watch was now dead. ;-) -- Keith |
