Receptor Ram Choices.

[Dr.Oates]

Does anyone know of a reason to purchase premium Muse Research ram over simpley buying it from a third party?

If yes, where? Any suggestions? I need 2GB

I know Muse states that all that is needed is:
PC3200/DDR 400 Mhz - non-registered, un/non-buffered, non-ECC.

Yet what about low or high density versions? How about Access speed minimums and such.
Any clues?

I assume this is a 184pin stick. I just cant help but wonder when 2GB is less than $120 on Ebay?

Not sure if you've seen this yet but using this as a minimum and getting a good brand like Crucial or Kingston, you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply. I confess that when it comes to ram specs I am a newbie in a lot of ways. By minimum do you mean PC3200 as apposed to maybe PC3700?? Can you expand what you mean minumums, maybe shoot me an ideal?

I have a new muse Rev.C 160GB HD on its way, and I want to load it up and right. Big Thanks!

I may not know much but this I do know: good RAM always matters.

Check out Crucial and explain your deal to them. If you click on Support there should be a Live Chat button on the right side of their overly-busy webpage.

From the Muse site, it looks like the current spec for the standard (Rev.C) is PC3200/DDR 400 Mhz - non-registered, non-buffered, non-ECC.

If you contact Crucial or Kingston as P220ST suggested with those specs, they should be able to suggest the appropriate model.

Here are the part numbers should anyone be interested in the future.
