1. Re: Is this the right 2GB memory for my Areca ARC-1880ix

One 240-pin DIMM socket for DDR2-800 ECC registered
SDRAM module using x8 or x16 chip organization, upgrade
from 1GB (default) to 4GB (ARC-1880ix-12/16/24)
"
Based on that you need DDR2 Reg ram and not unbuffered. The Kingston stick part number looks like an unbuffered stick.

ECBowen Sep 29, 2011 2:23 PM (in response to rowby)No that is an FB Dimm which is different from an RDimm. You need a RDimm.

rowby Sep 29, 2011 2:31 PM (in response to ECBowen)Here is the online store where I bought the board (Tekram) -- great areca support, btw.
Should I just buy the 2 GB version here.

This is likely the module you are looking for:
Kingston ValueRAM KVR800D2E5/2G

rowby Oct 4, 2011 12:34 PM (in response to rowby)As it turned out the memory ordered from amazon would not work. (No problem, a computer geek friend wanted it so it is now having a happy home in his computer).
I'll probably buy the memory from Tekram.

Do NOT order the 2GB stick from the link you provide above for a ARC-1880 series controller card. The only one that they show on that link that would be compatible is the $249 4GB 800MHz stick. If you click on the "details" button by each you can view what cards each RAM stick is compatible with.
If I were you, I would just stick with the 1GB RAM. And, if that is not fast enough for your needs, buying more hard drives would probably help your system's performance more than the cache upgrade.
