Which memory?

[Duneguy]

alright got a new computer, gonna buy memory for it for gaming. here is what the book says.

-This mainboard accomodates two 184-pin unbuffered double data rate sdram (ddr sdram) dual inline memory module (Dimm)sockets, and supports up to 1.0 GB of 266MHZ DDR SDRAM.

DDR SDRAm is a type of sdram that supports data transfers on both edges of each clock (the rising and fallign edges), effectivly doubling the memory chip's data throughout. ddr dimms can synchronously work with 100 mhz or 133 mhz memory bus.

ddr sdram provides up to 1.6 gb/s or 2.1 gbs/s data transfer rate depending on wether the bus si 100 mhz or 133 mhz. ddr sdram uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5v unbuffered DIMM module.

You've just stated what you need, which is 184 pin DDR266 modules.

From the list you provided, you need to look at PC2100 memory :)
