Acer memory - 512 MB - DIMM 168-pin - SDRAM

CNET product brief

Description: This Acer memory is a 1 module, server memory kit.Compared to other server memory kits on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $30.Comes in retail packaging.This module upgrades older computers, helping defer replacement of the entire system, possibly for another year or two.

Pros: This module employs ECC (error-correcting circuitry), allowing memory read/write faults to be automatically rectified without a slowdown in performance.

Cons: Has a 100 MHz clock speed, which is somewhat less favorable than some similarly priced kits.(While it is best to use the fastest memory supported by your system, be sure not to mix modules of different speeds if you already have memory installed.)

Suitability: A server memory kit, suited for upgrading system RAM.ECC memory is popular in server environments because of its stability.

Value: In general, this kit's features are as expected for this price.Since RAM is responsible for one of the larger parts of a system's cost, upgrading an older system with more expensive legacy memory needs to be weighed against the possibly better value proposition of buying a new computer which would use affordable, faster memory.

Suggestions: (1) You will need 1 open DIMM 168-pin slots to use this memory.(2) Check to see your system will support ECC memory before purchasing this module.(3) For more information on upgrading your system's RAM, check out CNET's How to page.
