Hey chaps,I am looking to replace one of my dimm card ram modules and I am not 100% sure which type of ram I need.

I know its pc133 cl3 sdram but is it non-ecc/ecc or registered?



cheers

non-ecc most likely.

Andy is correct! You cannot use ECC memory in a non-ECC system. There are memory specific registers that need to be supported.

I've had a net DIMM that used PC100 memory without any issues before.



It is indeed Non-ECC memory that you need.
