| 703523 | 2008-09-08 05:38:00 | I'm thinking of upgrading my Computers RAM to 2gig and not too sure what type of Ram. I'm running a Dell Dimension 4600 and have done a crucial scan and it says my motherboard doesn't support ECC. Does this mean i have to purchase non-ECC? such as this link here Link (www.gpstore.co.nz)? I haven't upgraded my comp before (as you may see) and really am in need of some help :P |

| 703524 | 2008-09-08 05:50:00 | The link doesnt work. Most computers use non-ecc. ECC is usually used for server-based systems I think I would say it uses DDR 184 pin ram. I think this is your system here (support.dell.com) Have a read of the info under memory |

| 703525 | 2008-09-08 05:54:00 | Yeah sorry about that heres the Link (www.gpstore.co.nz) But it seems like im on the right track. thanks for the help :) | Jared White5 (14159) | ||
| 703526 | 2008-09-08 06:02:00 | That ram should work, if the system you've got has a 800 FSB CPU in it. As the site I posted says, if you want dual channel (if the system supports it, it probably does), buy pairs (they have to be the same (identical - brand/speed etc) |
