GC86 Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Hello all, just got a great deal on a SLi-DR the other day and am very pleased but I am running into a few memory problems. I've learned that this mobo is VERY picky. I have a set of GeIL Golden Dragon PC3200 256mb that i've used for years on my 2500+ rig. Well I stick it in and get the famous long beep that usually hints the board doesn't like the ram from what i've read. So I look around the house for ram I can use and come across a super old stick of PQI 512MB PC2100 and throw it in, what do you know the board boots up and is prime stable for 5+ hrs so far. Im using a huge memory divider as I can't push this ram past 133. The question is, i've spotted this ram on craigslist, it's 2 sticks of 1gb pc3200 ECC ram from micron. Im wondering if this mobo is compatible with ECC ram and if I should go through with the purchase. Any info is appreciated and Happy Holidays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Hello, Nope, you must use NON-ECC unbuffered DDR memory. What other shops can you buy from / post link to website and we can take a look for you. Do you have a budget? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC86 Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I have a budget of about 100 dollars. Im trying to get enough ram to run BF2 on high with AA/AF without swapping. I tryed it with 512 and the frames were smooth as hell but I was getting tons of harddrive swapping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
