comp config

ECC stands for Error Correcting (something or other)
Basically it double checks what the CPU is sending the Ram for errors, if it detects and error it puts in a request to resend the data. It is meant to give you less crashes due to errors. You see that kind of Ram (the ECC part - on SIMM ram) more on servers than home pc's because it is more expensive, generally.

So then don't get it?

It wouldnt hurt, but its not necessary.

DUDE YOUR GETTING A DELL!!!

deker get your own thread. this thread is to help me wipe my ass, not yours.

alright *goes and gets all the presents from the swimming pool, and un-pops everyones balloons*

Happy Birthday Deker!
Cheers....

"RIMMs must be installed in pairs, and the memory configuration of each channel MUST match. Thus, RIMM-1 and RIMM-3 must be the same size, density, type and speed. RIMM-2 and RIMM-4 must also be the same size, density, type and speed. Using the encoded part numbers on the RIMMs is the best way to determine if the parts are the same.

When using only two RIMMs, you must install a Continuity Rambus Inline Memory Module (CRIMM) in those slots that do not contain RIMMs. In order to optimize memory performance, you must first populate RIMM-1 and RIMM-3."


You have a wierd computer, no offense. RDRam is something you would put in a server, usually (so I am told.) They are installed in pairs and if you have 2 banks of Ram, then you need to fill at least one with a pair (or use a "blank" Ram to fill the slot). So, if you have 128, do you have 2 Ram modules of 64 each?


Oh yeah and


Happy Birthday Foo!
