Solve : DDR 2 help?

Answer»

I am looking at an Asus P5k Delux motherboard and it says on the web site.

It take 4. DDR2 memorys and you can have up to 8. GB of RAM.
Then it says NONE EEC.

All DDR and any DIMMs have EEC that tock over Parity so what do they mean??
Can someone please go checkout the spec and tell me what they mean or if I am missunderstanding something.

Do you mean Non ECC?

ECC is a special type of RAM that detects and fixes ERRORS but is slower than Non ECC. It is fairly rare.

Because of the speeds and phenomenal amount of data moved by the typical DRAM chip it's possible that an occasional bad bit of data might be transfered to the CPU. Such as a bit being read as a zero when it's really a one. In most cases you WONT even notice when such a rare event occurs. You usually only see ECC RAM on HIGH end servers where even the smallest errors can be dangerous. For example, a bank server HANDLING thousands of on line transactions every second.
