It's ECC. Do you have a server board or an Athlon 64 FX board? If not, it may not work.

No i have an asus board with a pentium chip...

Does the board support ECC? Is ECC neccesary for you? If not its more money that you dont have to spend...

 

[KingT]

Im sure the board supports ECC, is ECC worth it? 😛

It's only worth it if the motherboard REQUIRES ECC. Otherwise, no.

In that case no. Instead of paying the extra for ECC, spend the extra on buying higher speed ram.

Get something CL2 or 2.5 and if you can for the same price, get something like corsair ram. ECC whacks an extra topping on the final price 🙁

ECC is slower.
