jdulmage 0 Posted June 7, 2003 What is the difference between 64x64 and 64x72 RAM? What's the point in those things? Anyone have a clue Thanks Share this post Link to post
tignat 0 Posted June 7, 2003 64x72 means RAM with parity check every byte has 8+1 bits. last is for parity check. have a nice day, tudor Share this post Link to post

AndyFair 0 Posted June 9, 2003 ECC memory is also slightly slower, because every read/write operation involves error checking as well as just the read/write. Rgds AndyF Share this post Link to post
DS3Circuit 0 Posted June 10, 2003 ECC and parity block checks are 2 different things. Parity blocks are either 0 or 1 ... on or off. Granted this is a a good quality of control agent. But what if the data and parity blocks are corrupt. ECC adds additional information about the parity as well as the data blocks. 2 cents. ... Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted June 10, 2003 Some of the older boards didn't have parity checks on board so the ram had to have it on the chip Share this post Link to post
