RAM info, please help

[Guest]

What is the difference between non ECC, ECC non-registered, and ECC Registered SDRAM?

I currently have a Tyan Trinity KT133A board and i'm not sure exactly which of the above three I can put in it.

please help

Just get non-registered, non-ECC RAM. That's what I have on my KT133a board.

Registered (or buffered) RAM enables you to use more than 2 sticks of DDR or 4 sticks of SDRAM.

ECC is Error Control Checking (I think , so it slightly slows down performance, but is safer. You don't need it unless you're a bank or something.
