when simms are advertised as 4x40 or 4x36, which one is ecc and which one is just parity?

 

[jhu]

another question, if i need a simm that's 36-bits/simm what exactly should i be looking for?

 

[jhu]

ok, someone must know about this. help!

 

[jhu]

i like talking to myself. hey me, how're you doing? how am i doing what? leave me alone me!

dunno a word about your question, but i felt sorry for your lonelyness. Have a nice day.

I'd assume the 4x40 was ECC and the 4x36 was parity, but I honestly dont know. I had read your post earlier, but hadnt posted because I am just not of which is which. Sorry to dissapoint you and the other voices, but hey, at least I'm also giving you a bump

 

[jhu]

well, i guess i'll just have to see if that memory i ordered works then. thanks!

i haven't found info on 4x40...4x32 is non-parity and it seems that 4x36 are parity and can be with ecc. for example, if you go to buy simms from crucial the choices are 4x32 non-parity, 4x36 parity non-ecc, and 4x36 parity w/ecc. so it seems like 4x36 can be both?

 

[jhu]

so would i be correct in assuming that a simm advertised as 4x36 is 36-bits/simm?

take a look here and see if it answers your questions...i'm not the most knowledgeable in this area and i don't want to give you the wrong answer
