( a long pipe line means that each clock cycle takes longer) so please don't wase your maney on a prescot they are also problomatic to set up and a pain in the arse to keep cool. they generally suck
so if u must buy pentium (go AMD) the for gods sake buy an Northwood and don't get ripped off

What prescot thing am i looking to buy?

Is it the hard drive/motherboard/etc? Cuz i dont see a prescot under that list i gave, also, this is my thread, dont clutter it plz, i just read a few post that has nothing to do with my comp.

Yes you could go with those blue ones for sure, but for the black ones...those are ECC, does your board support ECC?

[Icedragon]

OK i looked for your board and yes it does suppport ECC. So you could go with either one I guess, I recommend non-ECC.

ECC means Error Check Code, it has 8 extra bits to detect errors when stored information is sent back to the application. Since errors don't happen very often in this day and age much anymore, you might as well stick with non-ECC, because ECC slows you PC down by approximatly 3%.
