hey look i just thought that i should warn u against the prescot 3.2 ghz that u are looking at buying. i read a review in pcpower play a month or 2 ago that shoud that the northwood (c) is faster than the prescot due to the long pipe lind in the prescot. ( 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
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.

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%.
