"non-spd" and "DDR333"
I bought 256M of memory and check what bios had to say after installation.
The memory that came with the computer (an eMachine D2880 running at 2.66mhz) was "non-spd" and the new memory is "DDR333". I have read everything I found from google and understand the difference; but does it matter? The computer ran fine with just the "non-spd" and it seems to run fine now. Should I switch them so that the DDR333 is in bank 0? Should I spend another $20 and get a second DDR333? Should I stop obsessing over things that don't matter? Thanks. |

SPD stores the configuration settings for the memory such as FSB speed, memory timings, CAS level on the DIMM. BIOSes can access that setting and set the memory speed/timings?CAS level accordingly. Should you switch it to Bank 0? Doesn't matter. Should you get another stick? Entirely up to you. Should you stop obsessing? Definitely. If it works, leave it. -- Conor Greedo shot first.
