i've got a stick of plain crucial pc2700 in my wife's computer right now... do you guys think i would have any problems adding this http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=140353&AFFIL=pg&NR=1 ? they are both 2700, but would them being different brands make a big difference?

Cthulhu said:ah... i see. thanks for the reply. yeah, it's just a 2.4b p4 system.
Of all the DDR chipsets for a 533MHz FSB Socket 478 P4, only the i875P chipset supports ECC memory. And none of the Socket 478 chipsets support registered memory.
However, it is highly likely that the 2.4B sits on an i845PE chipset-based mobo, in which case you'll have to stick with unbuffered non-ECC memory.

well, cause i really wasn't looking for ram or anything... i just came across that link and thought it was a good deal. but according to that link you posted from newegg, a stick of 512 pc2700 from crucial is only 46.50...
anyway, thanks for the replies...
