I'm not sure about the reliability of some of my server SDRAM. I can play eBay Bingo, but if anyone has a couple of 512MB registered ECC SDRAM DIMMs, kicking around, and can part with, I'd like to hear from you!
Sun Ultra 5 and 10 workstations also use 3.3V 168-pin EDO ECC-capable DIMMS (reference: PDF pages 218-222 of The Ultra 10 Service Manual)There's also no such thing as ECC EDO memory. You either have 32 bit regular memory or 36 bit parity memory, there's no error correcting.
Don't you just love the early DIMM days? You can even get 5V 168-pin FPM RAM...the keying is different between 3.3 and 5, as well as between SDRAM and EDO. I don't remember if registered versus unregistered had keying differences....Yeah, mine is 440GX chipset. 64x72-100MHz PC100, 168p DIMM, 3.3v, Sync, ECC
If I can't find a good deal on buffered ECC SDRAM, I'll just use PC133 unbuffered stuff--there's more of it out there.
There's no such thing as EDO SDRAM. It's either EDO or SDRAM, not both, they're two entirely different memory technologies.
