Re: 1GB DDR sticks now are all buffered registered ecc. Another nasty surprise is that they don't work with all the motherboards we had in house. My VAR had to special order memory from Acer when I needed unbuffered unregistered 512meg SDRAM 2 years ago to get 2 gig of ram on an old Abit KA7 board. Samsung says they are shipping 512M dice (what you need) as of last month. samsungelectronics.com Here's the spec sheet for their branded 1GIG unbuffered DIMM, (not yet shipping as of last month) samsungelectronics.com You might need Acer or someone else to put together the DIMMs from the Samsung chips for you if you don't want to wait. They accommodated my VAR two year ago for an order of 4 pieces.

I ( unbuffered?)lost my MBoard Book of Specs( pretty sure is is a SiS MB), I got my new Computer w AMD 1.2 with PC400 DDR that is all I know, someone at the shop "traded" w PC133 in the next 2 slots ( not th Red ones but the 2 Black ones). So what do I buy, I run Window ME so now I have to thinking on upgrading at 512 barrier see PS lower om W ME: Main Question can I run PC 800 on these 2 slots you all think? Am I ECC or NON ECC? Is that he UNBUFFERED differance? samsungelectronics.com cgi.aol.ebay.com NEW - 256MB KIT RDRAM (128MB X 2) PC800 RDRAM RIMM!!! FEATURES: 184 PIN NON-ECC 2.5V supply Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Gold Contacts 32 Banks Low Latency Advanced Power Management Currently $156.00 Buy It Now for $167.00 This option disappears once a bid is placed P.S.- NOTE I found: Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition (Windows ME) DO NOT SUPPORT more than 512 megabytes of system memory without adjusting system parameters (not recommended). If your system is running Windows 98 or Windows ME and if you plan to use more than 512 megabytes of system memory, you will want to upgrade to Windows XP (for most consumers) or Windows 2000 (for business environments). Some users have avoided the need to upgrade the operating system by replacing the original memory (usually two 64MB modules) with two new 256MB modules. This keeps the system from going above the 512MB limit. P.P.S. - Other Sites: samsungelectronics.com samsungelectronics.com lowcostdigital.com "" 800 MHZ RAMBUS RDRAM NON-ECC 184 PIN FULL ONE YEAR WARRANTY 128MB RDRAM$42.95 256MB RDRAM$84.95 .."" So Can I buy the ABOVE 2 sticks of 256 for 512 total if I use Win ME , but maybe I should get XP now and look for two 512s >? But I still have n clue if my MBoard will take 1000GIG + Chucka@ RB and iHub
