February 4, 200620 yr I need for a stupid DELL server 2 x 256MB or 2 x 128MB PC133 - ECC register (vs ECC non-register) There are impossible to find here or was I looking at the wrong places ? Anyone would know where to find them ? also, what the are differences between ECC Register vs. ECC Non-register ? what does it mean ? purpose ?
February 4, 200620 yr PC133 is going to be hard to find in Thailand and if found, expensive due to low demand. May have to order abroad (might check this site) http://www.techbuy.com.au/searchcat/MEMORY_ECC_MEMORY.asp A register chip on each module buffers the transferred data and then passes them along with a one-cycle delay but a clear signal (indicating the data is valid). ECC, on the other hand, is a test routine that forms a checksum and attaches it to the data. This is how bit errors, or changes to the value of a bit caused by external influences or malfunctions, can be identified and then fixed in some cases. ECC modules can detect up to two bit errors and correct individual ones. Effectively a register chip will give you one more level of data protection. Pretty good coverage of the technologies here: http://www.kingston.com/tools/umg/umg05b.asp
