I'm looking for 2 GB single DDR 400 unbuffered ECC memory. Does anybody have such memory? Thanks, Ivan.

As in a single 2GB stick or 2x1GB or what? 2GB in a single stick of unbuffered ECC was extremely rare when DDR memory was current 12 or so years ago if it actually existed. 512M and 1G you could find. 2GB was almost always buffered ECC memory for servers. All the chipsets I recall from that era maxed out at 1GB dimms at best. What kind of machine is this for? -- Len Sorensen

Yes a single stick. It's for a SunFire X2100. Hmm, the specs say max memory 8 GB but maybe 2 GB x 1 were never made in this format. Ivan.

According to https://www.memoryxsun.com/mxx4211az.html which has 2GB sticks for the X2100, the machine drops to DDR266 from DDR400 when using 2GB sticks. So you can have 4GB of DDR400 or 8GB of DDR266. So you get to choose speed or quantity, not both. -- Len Sorensen

Thanks for the heads up. I'll stick with the 1 GB sticks. Hopefully I get access to newer server grade hardware. Ivan.
