Quizzle Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I have a Dell PowerEdge SC420 with 2x256mb DDR2 400Mhz ECC and wish to add 1Gb of memory. The Corsair Configurator suggests: Part #: CMSS512MB-533 Size : 512MB SKU # : CMSS512MB-533 Part #: CMSS1GB-533 Size : 1GB SKU # : CMSS1GB-533 but these seem to be non ECC parts and I have ECC. Searching also turned up CMSS512MBR72-400D2 (CORSAIR 512MB ECC DDR2 PC3200 RAM) which looks to be what I am after. Does any one know whether this part is compatible? Can I use it with the ram that shiped with the system? Also do systems from companies such as Dell, IBM, HP etc generally use specific ram or will any good ram of the right specifications generally work? - I thought the days of manufacturers using no standard parts was long gone.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 28, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 28, 2005 If you have ECC you should try and match the memory that came with your system or replace the memory with our modules for best performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quizzle Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 Dell seem to be charging an exorbitant price for their official ram upgrade. I would prefer to use ECC – so what modules would you recommend if I remove the ram supplied with the system and use only Corsair ram. What ECC modules are known to be compatible?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 2, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 2, 2005 I am sorry as we do not offer any none buffered ECC memory at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
