I have a friend who got a free computer from his wifes work. Its a dell server XEON 3.0Ghz.... He went and purchased some Crucial memory ddr2, and he just get beeps. The Crucial is rated for 1.8v... so I think we are good there. The current memory has this info, mt18htf6472dy 512mb 2rx8 pc2 3200 r-333-11-b0 The first part brings up this web page from Micron http://www.micron.com/products/par [...] 6472DY-40E Can he stick regular ddr2 memory in there, or must he purchase specific server type memory... Thanks for any insight..
RDIMM refers to a type of buffered memory for servers. I believe it may be compatible with normal memory, but not sure. You should search for info on the motherboard, it might shed some light on this.
it probably need ECC ram (error correcting code)... but you should check motherboard specification for more ingo
Wasn't ECC something else? I believe so, although can't remember for sure.
