Q's about Crucial Ram

[Village00idiot]

I am getting a 256 stick of Crucial Pc2100 RAM for my Epox 8k7A seen here.

Two questions. One what Cas latency should I get here? I have no idea what the difference is so somone please explain it. Also as you see through the link the sell the memory in 32Meg x 72 and 32Meg x 64. Which of these is better?

Hope someone can help an idiot out. Thanks.

well the 32 x 72 is unbuffered so i assume it would be faster.

X72 is ECC (error correcting). It's slightly (a couple percent) slower.
The differnce in CAS latencies is also neglicgable for most programs. Typically, less than 5% difference.
