DDR Info

[Booky]

256MB DDR PC1600 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 2.5V • 32Meg x 64 CT3264Z202 $118.79

256MB DDR PC1600 • Unbuffered • ECC • 2.5V • 32Meg x 72 CT3272Z202 $125.09

I got these off of Crucial.com web page. I have a few questions. First I dont need the ECC if im just useing my PC for home and gameing? Second It seems that the sticks with ECC show configuration as 32meg x 72 and the non-parity show as 32meg x 64, is there a difference between the 2 other than one has ECC and other does not? I mean is there non-parity with 32meg x 72 and is that better or worse than 32meg x 64, I don't know what 32meg x 64 represents so im only guessing its better thats why im asking. And lastly I plan on waiting untill they release tehre 2100 stick to see the price but do you think these are good prices for the PC1600? I thought they were but I never built a PC before. Oh I almost forgot, is there a reason that the CAS2 and CAS3 isn't listed for DDR sticks, how we supposed to know what they are? Thanks for any info, you all are the pro's


Someday I will stop asking all the questions!<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Booky on 02/11/01 06:57 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

First off, you don't need ECC. Second off, I would wait for PC2100 RAM.

I plan on waiting for PC2100, but what is 32meg x 64 representing and are only ECC sticks have 32meg x 72?

Someday I will stop asking all the questions!
