ECC and non-parity

[Dantrag]

whats the differents between ecc and non parity ram?

 

[JSR]

ecc

is (error checking) ram.............for critical performance related to servers and large modules of ram..........for gaming etc. use non parity as opposed to parity(ecc) ram :grinthumb

Unless you have a motherboard aimed at the server market (i.e. dual CPU sockets, onboard SCSI RAID, etc) then you can't use ECC. Buy non-parity as JSR instructs. Consult your motherboard's manual.

dont buy ECC - as has been said - unless u have a server mboard then it wont support ecc - and its incredebly expensive
and if u want my opinion buy Corsair - not Crucial
