Ram Naming question

[riddelrp]

* Supports three 168-pin unbuffered DIMM using six memory
banks.
* Supports a maximum memory size of 348MB (8M*8) or
768MB (16M*4)

I am wondering for the second value (768MB) does the 16M*4 imply that it is ECC ram?

Thank you,
Ryan

No, it's a different arrangement of the memory cells. It indicates high density memory chips. There's an AT FAQ about high density memory.

ECC and parity memory use multiples of 9, because it uses 1 extra bit per byte. Normal memory is multiples of 8.
