Just been looking for memory and found i can get 2 Gig for 85 quid delivered. Just don't know what they mean by "unbuffer non-ecc"

Anyone got any ideas?

1GB DDR Memory 184Pin DIMM DDR400 Unbuffer Non-ECC Memory

Cheers

It basically means that the RAM your buying has no Error Checking and Correction. Normally reserved for Server PCs. As these are classed as mission critical.
ECC RAM has an extra Chip for checking information toing and going for any errors. It costs more.

 

Cheers for the reply,

how would that compare? What is going to be best for my machine?

I use it for gaming so need quite a lot.

Its P4 3.2gig only got 512 at the mo. want 2.5.. just so it run's extra well.

 

do u have sufficient slots on your mobo?

if u do and its for gaming id check out corsair mem chips

and if u gonna play games longer than me (4hrs+ night) then u may wanna consider also a mem cooler bank for your system

 

Best to find the make / model of your motherboard and go to a site such as http://www.crucial.com/uk/

That will recommend the type of memory you need.. i.e. speed - DDR / DDR2.

 

ok cheers. Where is it good to get a cooler bank from? need to do a few things to cool it down.

Cheers

great cheers, i have a Foxconn motherboard. Not on it at the mo, going to find out which one tomorrow. think it's just standard DDR though.
