hi, i was looking at ram and was wondering why these 2 are different prices?

Unbuffered ? Non-parity ? DDR333 ? 2.5V ? 128Meg x 64

Registered ? ECC ? DDR333 ? 2.5V ? 128Meg x 72

the top one is more, they are 1 gig.....also could you tell me what some of those things mean? like megs?

First, unbuffered, non-parity means that is is not ECC ram. This is the type of ram you will use in most personal systems.

Registered ECC ram has error correction capabilities. This ram is costlier, and does not work in most personal computers. the x64 means non-ecc, the x72 means ecc (the extra 8mb is for error correction). as for 128meg, it sounds like it is one stick of 128mb memory, not 1 gig as you suggest.
