Solve : ECC RAM Questions? |
|
Answer» I had gotten some ECC RAM without realizeing that it was differnt then non ECC. Thing is that I have an unit that maybe able to use it. I install the DIMM an nothing but beep codes. I figured that something in the BIOS needs CHANGED, but I dont know what to look for. Case in note, what am I suppose to look for?Not all boards execpt eccram. Check with your BOARD mfg.You shouldnt have to change anything in the bios when adding ramI understand that, I did look at the box an said that it would take it. Thing is the unit isnt with me currently. But I dont think that I can return it if nothing else.The processor would also have to support ECC. What processor is installed on the system..Quote from: EEVIAC on March 28, 2010, 04:59:09 PM The processor would also have to support ECC. What processor is installed on the system.. I don't think so. ECC is handled by the memory controller, which is part of the CHIPSET; not by the CPU. Either way, he's posted this issue at least 5 times before with his PREVIOUS account, and almost every query will have something like "thing is I don't have it on me at the moment" or, in this case: Quote Thing is the unit isnt with me currently. How the he** are we supposed to diagnose issues when you're talking about a unit that you don't even have? you want theoretical answers or what? where is this "unit"?Quote from: BC_Programmer on March 28, 2010, 10:24:28 PM I don't think so. ECC is handled by the memory controller, which is part of the chipset; not by the CPU. Here is a quote from a motherboard manual: Use of a CPU that supports ECC is required if you wish to install ECC memory I guess my point is, it seems that some systems DO require CPU support for ECC. Perhaps not all systems are that way, though |
