moon Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 After having bought ECC RAM from Crucial I have just been here and read this :Nforce2 boards have a hard time with LOTS of different generic ram. They do not work with ECC RAM.They're joking ? Yes ? No? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon Posted November 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Strange you should say that ellas. I joined there this afternoon and posted the query.

moon Posted November 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 here.Yeah, I just bought the RAM from Crucial without checking any board compatibility. I just figured that all boards ran ECC. I'll ask Crucial if they will exchange it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon Posted November 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Of course, being a novice I would have expected a notification somewhere on the box saying 'This board does not support ECC' Otherwise how do you know these things ? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
