That's Registered ECC RAM (also called "Buffered"), you can see the added control chip in the middle. This board supports only Unbuffered ECC, the model is not important.

ECC -IS- necessary for any file-server, and so for WHS. The difference of cost of that type of RAM is negligible while the benefits are many. A corrupted data IS NOT correctable with CHKDSK NOR with ANY other program. You won't ever notice you have corrupted data! some of your files will be...

My system: AMD ATHLON X2 5050e BIOSTAR TA760G KINGSTON KVR800D2E6\2G I can confirm ECC MODE is working (detect / correct), but since I am using only 1 DIMM, Chipkill (tm) functionality is OFF (not a big deal for a mid-end server, it is an enhancement to the ECC mode done by IBM for...

CPU-Z only tells if memory is ECC, not if ECC MODE is enabled and working.

That's just perfect for a Server 2008 (R2) setup. On desktop and laptop I have to wait for price of 120GB models to hit the sweet spot... Wouldn't go for anything less.

Jay_S, as I already said here, no more confirmations are needed. MemTest86+ clearly shows your system is running with the DRAMs on ECC MODE. Thanks again and enjoy.

Hi girls. Jay_s is right. Let's talk about the ECC question. For ECC to fully work, that's what we need: (a) ECC Memory (obviously) (b) Suitable Memory Controller (less obvious) (c) Option on the BIOS (not known by many) For (a) and (b) we do not have any problems, since almost...
