EDIT: I've moved this to my website, so that I can keep it up-to-date more easily, and so people can see it when the board is down.
It's also a good deal easier to navigate.

nice guide :)
one little teensy weensy point though: you say that the fastest ram currently available is PC3200, however, i've had a PC3500 (434MHz) for a few months now (Corsair XMS3502)
What is the difference between ECC and non ECC? :lol: :rolleyes: :unsure: ;)
just teasing you Lamsey. you are B)
Cheers Mr Lamsey for this, I've been annoying a few folks on here asking them about this kinda stuff lately (Shout out to 2nd Gen Noob :) ) This will go a long way to stopping me from ending up with a small electrical fire on my hands. :rolleyes: Thanks pal :D

OK, how about I say fastest standard types? PC3500 isn't really a common type, although it may be popular with overclockers, I don't know :unsure: .

That answer has been added.
"ECC RAM has extra error-correction control built into the circuitry of the chip. It is recommended for use in important computers such as servers or real-time workstations.
Non-ECC RAM is cheaper and more than adequate for a normal desktop/laptop system."
I consider my computer important, at least I let it think so... :rolleyes:
Nice guide Lamsey.I am forever getting mixed up with all the different types of RAM around these days and it's good having this to refer to. :)
You might want to add that you need two cooling fans if you've got RDRAM, it gets extremely hot inside.
had a mini fire once allready, a tiny cable came to close, it didn't touch, just a little too close. Once again wasn't my fault, the store repaired it and put in an extra fan.
