I haven't been following hardware much as of late.

I had a Dell that died on me, so I decided to get a barebone and just swap in the components that worked. Turns out it was only the CPU that was shot, so I'm gonna keep the barebone and use it for a new PC for myself (my computer is a piii 600, so it's time for an upgrade).

Anyway, i put the RAM i got into the Dell too because I wanted at least 512 and i figured i'd just get one stick.

Here is the kit i got.

it came with a 256 266mhz stick, but it also says that the System Data Bus is 400/533.

Does that mean i can get faster ram for it? Like 433mhz??

btw, i had to get another CPU for the dell casue the 2.4 i put in there is only running at 1.8(i guess that's as high as the mobo will allow). So i got a new 1.8 for the Dell and i will put the 2.4 in my machine.

Thanks guys.

That's what i thought i should be getting (the PC2700)

I'll probably just order the 512 unbuffered ECC stick from crucial.

thanks.

hmm, isn't non-ECC the type you should get for desktops?

yeah, i looked into it and ended up getting nonEcc.

thanks guys.
