Hi,
I have some older FPM (Fast Page) RAM and SiSoft Sandra says that it's ECC RAM. I just contacted tech support from the RAM's manufacturer and they are telling me that it is Parity RAM and not ECC. They say that ECC came later with the DIMM's. My question is this: Why would Sandra say that I have ECC when it seems to be able to detect Parity, non-parity chips? Sandra also says that my system does not support ECC, so if it encounters errors, it will shut down. Why would it say this if I don't have ECC? I don't know whether to trust tech support on this one.
Can anyone give me any info regarding this? I'd like to know if I have ECC or just Parity RAM if I could.
TIA,
Sal
