Crucial 256DDR RAMS (PC-2100) Help!!!

[SuPaFLyZ4LiFe]

Sups...I have a question...Will the following Crucial 256DDR RAMS (PC-2100) will compatiable or g00d 4 the following *GAMING* system?

Motherboard - Asus A7M-266
Processor - AMD 1.4Ghz
Video Card - Gainward GeForce III (POWERPACK)

i just want 2 know if it will be compatiable cause i dont know what the term means
thx

That Crucial memory is fine & compatiable for that board.

Thanks...but if it's not 2 much, can u explain what the specs mean?

CL(cas latency)=2.5 is the same as CAS2.5 , PC2100 memory is 133MHZ DDR sdram,and as for non-parity well easier to juste paste this from Crucial FAQ

<< Description:

What is the difference between ECC and non-parity memory?

Solution:

ECC is indicated by a 36 or 72 in our part number. Non-parity is designated with a 32 or 64. If you already have a PC and are unsure which type you have, count the number of black chips mounted on one of your existing DIMMs. If the number of chips is evenly divisible by three, then you need ECC. If the number of chips is NOT evenly divisible by three, you have non-parity memory.

If you are building a PC and deciding which type to use, the following guidelines should help. If you plan to use your system as a server or a similar mission critical type machine, it is to your advantage to use ECC. If you plan to use your PC for regular home, office, or gaming applications, you are better off with non-parity.

ECC (error correcting code) memory performs &quot;double bit detection and single bit correction&quot;. This means that if you have a single bit memory error, the chipset and memory will find and repair the error on the fly without you knowing that it happened. If you have a double bit memory error, it will detect and report it. Using ECC decreases your PC's performance by about 2%. Current technology DRAM is very stable and memory errors are rare, so unless you have a need for ECC, you are better served with non-parity SDRAM. >>
