Does ECC Registered Ram function in normal Motherboards?

Hi

I bought a 1GB stick of Pc3200 DDR Ram for my SN45G Shuttle (Rev. 2)

Corsair CM72SD1024RLP-3200/S

It seems to be standard 184 pin memory, save for the ECC registering, But it won't work - Not display on powerup if only module, no recognition if second module.

Is there any way around this (Bios Flash?) or shall i just try to divest myself of the offending memory?

Thanks for the help

No, unfortunately that memory will not work with your system. You will need unbuffered non-ECC memory for that Shuttle. I would suggest using the CORSAIR MEMORY CONFIGURATOR to find memory suggested for your system.

Yellowbeard - you may want to look at the size of your sig. The FAQ is rather strict about the size.

Good to see a vendor participating actively

NickK, thanks for the welcome. This is a great forum.

As far as I can tell my sig conforms in both file size and pixel dimensions. Do you see a specific problem?

Thanks for the help. Alas!
