ECC memory has an extra bit per byte, a typical DDR memory would have a 72 bit data path instead of a 64 bit memory path.

ECC equipped machines provide correction of single bit memory errors and detection of multi-bit memory errors. Non-ECC equipped machines typically crash when any memory error is experienced, since there is no detection.
