Hi Guys,
I've been underrgoing my RAM education as part of the process of my first build and I have a lingering question for you vets...what is up with "single stack" vs. "doublee stack" i.e. the modules with a row of single ships vs the moduels with a row of chips stacked one over teh other? Is this the same as Single Rank vs. Dual Rank? I am told to avoid "double stack" modules because they get really hot.
OK, now, I need to buy 2GB modules of 400mhz PC3200 ram for my setup and I am having a hard time hunting down these modules. The documentation for my MOBO (Tyan K8we) claims I can only use:
Infineon
SM12872RDDR8H2BGIC
(HYB25D512400BC-5)
But I know this is not the case becasue others are using Corsiar and OCZ 2GB modules. I think I could use the Kingstons as well.
Any comments?
