Confused about RAM =|

[gummiely]

I'm looking into pc133 ram, but i don't know what the heck kinda specs i should be looking for. I hear of things like "(un)buffered, ecc, cas2" etc.. but how much of a performance impact do they have? How do i know which ram will work well with my mobo? Someone please help this lost child. =(

look for some cas2 pc133 ram made by micron, good stuff. ecc makes ram more reliable and stable but it is generally not widely used for regular pc's since it is more expensive than regular pc133.. and im not even shure if there is pc133 ecc ram, maby only pc100 ecc ram, but i could be wrong
