I was looking for Memory when I came across this. It is a stick of 512 MB SDRAM for Compaq Systems.

Here is their Reseller Rating

Product Detail

I have never owned a Compaq, but do know they are proprietary. Does anyone one think there is a chance this would work with other systems?

BTW this is my first hot deals post (for those who can use it)

See if your motherboard will take regisered ECC.
I'm going to take the gamble and say that these will work in my SC500!

ECC ram probably won't work in your motherboards. stop and check b4 you go on a major spending spree. ECC is mostly for servers that will be using a lot of ram.

My motherboard manual says that ECC is not supported but it will work. The ECC function will just not be available.

What the hell, I'm in for 2

Does that apply to all motherboards that don't support ECC ram? Because I'm sure my doesn't support it but I want some cheap ram.

Now from what I understand you can run ECC on pretty much any board, except that you cannot mix non-ECC and ECC.

These are "Registered" modules. They are used ONLY in file servers. You can not use them in regular systems.

I have both an HP Netserver and a ProLiant Server and they both use registered memory. Great Deal if it comes through!

DO NOT BUY FOR HOME SYSTEMS - IT WON'T WORK!

Does anyone know if you can run ECC and non-ECC DIMM's together if you run them both non-ECC?

If your board dosen't support ECC it wont run ECC anyway, but I doubt you can mix them.

I jumped for 2 sticks, if they honor it great, if it works it works, if not off to ebay.

THIS LINK works ok without the "&SourceID=k15506" tag. Most likely a price error, and a time waster for the vendor and all the buyers. Blazing hot if you get it.

Good Post!
I was going to order some, but the wife'd just kill me when it came in.
I think one of my older boards (Maybe ASUS a7v133) would take registered memory,
but just wouldn't take advantage of the feature?
I don't think my present board could use it.

oldfoof

I've got a ML330 and took the 256mb ram out of it and tried it in a Dell 500SC...works great.
Tried it in a BX6....(however, the old model..now the bx6-2) and a BH6....no go.

I'm going to guess that the memory they're seling you is similliar to my compaq 256mb chips.....regardless, I can stick 2gb in the compaq for $45 shipped. Sounds HOTT to me!

Lets cross our fingers that it comes!

ECC is not the big issue. A lot of motherboards will accept ECC memory, although many do not implement the ECC feature.

The dealbreaker for most people, though, is the fact that this is also REGISTERED memory. As others have noted, for the most part ONLY server and some higher-end workstation motherboards will work with REGISTERED memory.

It's the registered feature that will make this memory worthless to the average person, not the ECC feature.
