What is the difference between ecc and non-ecc ram pc3200?
ECC is error checking, there is an extra chip on the ram that does this and it's only really useful for server machines. Also ECC runs slower. Non-ECC has better performance and is used in most desktop PCs. There is a lot more to it, but this should give you the answer you need. For more info just type ECC vs. Non-ECC into any search.
ECC memory is more reliable than non-ECC memory?
ECC cost more but is more reliable than non-ECC memory. TRUE
Your motherboard k8upgrade vm800 from Asrockwhich is not support ecc and buffred dimms it possible to put ecc and buffred dimm to work in non ecc and non bufferd mode?
ECC modules can be used in a non-ECC system (though the cost makes it a poor strategy). Buffered modules cannot be used in a system that does not support buffered modules.
How can I differentiate non-ecc from ecc memory modules?
ECC stands for Error Checking and Correction. This type of memory module is used to correct memory errors within the computer registry. ECC memory modules generally have 9 chips compared to 8 chips in a non-ECC memory module. This is the easiest way to differentiate the two.
What is non-ECC DDR SDRAM memory?
There are two types of memories when it comes to supporting ECC (error correction code/circuitry). These are ECC memory (memories which support ECC) and non-ECC (which do not support ECC). ECC helps detect and correct certain types of errors in memory transactions if they occur. ECC memories are a bit slow in performance as there is some time lost in detecting and correcting errors if they occur. Non-ECC memories are more common, faster and cheaper. ECC memories are recommended for servers and other mission critical applications. Most of system designs and circuits are robust and there are rarely any errors on a PC memory bus, so non-ECC memories are good enough for general computing applications. Most computer motherboards support both type of memories but still if one should check motherboard and BIOS specifications before investing in ECC memory type. - Neeraj Sharma
Although ECC memory costs more than non-ECC memory why would you chose to use it?
It is more reliable.
Ecc memory is more reliable than non- ecc memeory?
it's more reliable and is generally used on servers.
Can you use non ecc memory on a motherboard that supports ecc memory?
Depending on the specs of the motherboard, a motherboard that supports ECC SDRAM may support a non-ECC SDRAM module. If a motherboard can support both types, you would have the option to enable or disable the ECC feature in BIOS. Other than the fact that an ECC module has an odd number of chips, there is no other physical difference on the module. They are keyed the same.
Although ECC memory cost more then non-ECC memory why would you chose to use it?
It is more reliable and is generally used on servers.
How much memory can a DIMM hold?
8 MB to 2 GB of RAM depending on factors such as non-ECC and ECC technology.
Although ECC memory costs more than non-ECC memory why would choose to use it?
If you need to use a server with memory error protection for such critique services like financing, computer simulations and so on. You have to use ECC (error correcting code) memory which supports memory error protection. More information you can find here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory#Error-correcting_memory
Can you use non ecc ram on hp xw8400?
NO, Only FB-DIMM can be used \
