Question about non-ECC RAM
« on: August 22, 2004, 09:55:17 PM »
I currently have a motherboard that doesn't support ECC RAM, and am going to upgrade it to this: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=240311.  My current RAM (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80098-2) is non-ECC, but since the motherboard I'm going to purchase is, would the RAM I have now be unusable (i.e., would I have to purchase ECC RAM for it)?  Thanks in advance!

    Wes Barron.....If I understand your question ......you currently have a pc with a stick of Kingston 512 mb PC3200 ,  DDR400 ...184 pin unbuffered , non ecc Ram....
    The new ASUS P4C800E -  motherboard according to the detailed specs will support up to 4gb total ram.....
    184 pin DDR  PC3200 unbuffered and either ECC or non ECC Ram...... So based on what you say and what I read in the detailed board specs you can use the ram you have.
    If you have anymore questions , don't hesitate to ask.
    Hope this helps
