I currently have a computer with 2x2gb sticks of FB-DDR2 PC2-5300 memory. I am looking for something that I can replace it with that runs cooler. ECC is unnecessary for the computers use. I am only using 1GB out of the 4GB installed as it is just a file server and iSCSI target. What type of memory would I be able to use? I tried putting a stick of PC2-6400 that was non-ECC in, but the notch did not match up (a few weeks ago, my memory could be wrong). Is there a specific type of non-ecc memory I can use, or am I stuck with Fully Buffered?
