RE: Re: OT: Registered SDRAM

Thanks Richard, I actually found their descriptions after I posted the
message (isn't that always the way?)

I'm actually having problems installing XP which I think is caused by
the current memory generating errors. I think I'll just order a couple
of 256Mb DIMMS - memory is just SO cheap these days - 30 quid for 256Mb!

Given that the machine is used mainly for Office based apps, and
outright speed isn't a massive issue (it's a Pentium III 800 EB) I'll
pay the extra few quid and get registered (the mainboard supports it).

Tim,

I got the following brief description from crucial's web site.  They
have an excellent memory selector that tells you which modules are
compatible with your PC / motherboard, prices pretty good, they dont
charge for next day delivery and the modules are clearly labeled so
you know what they are when you come across them in a drawer in 6
months time.

"Registered modules contain a register that delays all information
transferred to the module by one clock cycle. Again, this is usually
done on modules with a lot of memory to help ensure that the data is
properly handled."
