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.

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.

Difference between eec sdram and non eec memory?

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.
