CNET product brief

Description: The Acer 512MB Memupg Altos 12000 chip is a 512 MB, server memory module.Compared to other server memory modules on the market, it is midpriced at around $105.Will arrive in retail packaging.This product meets the specifications for compatibility with AMD and Intel-based systems.This module upgrades more mature computer systems, typically those running older Athlon, Duron and Celeron processors.

Pros: This module features ECC (error-correcting circuitry), which detects and reports memory faults automatically without interrupting other processes in your system.

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

Suitability: For use in server and/ or workstation environments.The accuracy of ECC memory makes it popular in server environments.Note that this memory module will typically install in older systems, such as (Intel) Pentium-III, Celeron, and (AMD) Athlon and Duron based computers.

Value: Overall, this module's features are in line with its price.Note that the average price of server memory modules with a comparable amount onboard memory is considerably more, around $130.However, as legacy RAM gets harder to find you may opt to upgrade your system to take advantage of lower priced, widely available memory types.

suggestions: (1) You will need an open DIMM 168-pin slot or be willing to swap out an existing module to accommodate this one.(2) Check to see your system will support ECC memory before purchasing this unit.(3) For more information on upgrading your system's RAM, check out CNET's How to page.
