Product Description

Viking Components

Guaranteed Compatibility
View a listing of PCs, notebooks, PDAs, digital cameras, or other products that are guaranteed compatible with this Viking product. Making sure you have guaranteed compatibility is very important because of the hundreds of different brands, types, and configurations of memory available. As a result, memory that works in one product doesn't necessarily work in another--and there's nothing more frustrating than buying something you can't use.

Because compatibility is so critically important, Amazon has forged a strategic relationship with Viking Components and created the Memory Finder. The Memory Finder is a tool that can help you find memory that works with your specific product, taking the guesswork out of buying memory.

Benefits of Additional Memory
Below are listed just a few of the many reasons to purchase additional memory:

Increased Speed: Increasing your computer's memory will speed up access times and translates to faster processing speeds. For example, doubling the memory in your computer often results in 50 percent faster data processing.

Increased Power: Increasing your computer's memory will enable it to process more data. You can have more windows and documents open at the same time. Computer game play becomes faster and more fluid, and high-end graphic programs perform more quickly.

Increased Performance: Increasing your computer's memory can decrease the amount of times your computer crashes. The number one reason for "blue screens" in Windows is because the computer runs out of available memory to carry out a function.

Cost Savings: Adding more memory to your computer can lead to dramatic increases in performance for a relatively low price. In some cases, it can even eliminate the need to purchase a new computer thus saving you hundreds of dollars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Always buy ECC memory if your computer can use it, November 28, 2000

This review is from: Viking C66618 128MB PC100 ECC CL3 DIMM Memory, Compaq Part# 166618-B21 (Personal Computers)

Have you ever been playing a game and in the middle of kicking the snot out of the last boss on the last level and then all of the sudden your computer crashes or reboots? Or maybe you were surfing a cool new site that hadn't yet bookmarked and OOPS your computer crashed. Well, ECC memory may be what you need, but it's not for everyone. First, it's usually a bit more expensive than non-ECC RAM. Second, it's still a fairly high-end feature and some motherboards don't support ECC RAM. My motherboard will accept either type so at first I had the cheapo non-ECC memory and had MANY random crashes, but when I switched to all ECC memory I have a crash maybe once every week or so (that's probably due to Win NT or a buggy video driver). I say bite the bullet and get the ECC memory.
