RAM for ECS K75SA?

[mgravy]

I am looking to buy RAM for an Elite Group (ECS) K75SA mobo but I can?t find any documentation on what type of RAM I need -even on Crucial?s selection pages.

Do I need unbufered? Registered? ECC? Non-parity? Or does it matter?

Crucial Linky

EDIT: The board takes both SDRAM and DDR RAM. So be sure you know which kind you need/want and get it.

Yeah, the weird thing is they have the board listed as the Elite Group (ECS) K7S5A. It is actually the K75SA (not S5) so a CSR pointed me to this link: http://www.crucial.com/store/listmodule.asp?module=DDR+PC2100&Attrib=Package. Now what?

I doubt that the ECS board actively supports ECC ram.
It only has two SDRAM and DDR-RAM slots, so buffered is also a waste.

Just get your basic PC-133 SDRAM or PC2100 DDR, unbuffered and non-ECC. Buffered and ECC will work, but will be wasted...

Helps?

Actually it is K7S5A not K75SA. Check out the product webpage here.

pretty much ANY unbuffered (non-ecc) DDR and SDR dimms will work in it...

including pc2100/2400/2700, pc66/100/133/150

i've noticed the board isn't picky at all w/ brand and density of chips.

i've tried:

amzor
spektek
micron
infineon
and others i can't recall

i bought a 256MB dimm of crucial DDR pc2100 ram, running fine at cas 2.0 w/ my ecsk7s5a system.
