EcC Ram Question

[earth4x]

I was just wondering, i have an old 256mb 266mhz stick hanging around and i wanted to know if i can put it in an MSI 865Pe Neo2-Platinum which supports ECC memory... judging by the 4 year old memory stick i think it's NON-ECC... can this cause problems with the computer like crashes or blue screen?

You could use it. You don't need ECC. In fact, you get a performance gain by NOT using ECC. But PC2100 is awefully slow anyway.

No, you can not use any non-ECC memory in ECC mode.

tut tut tut, did you even read the question? You got it mixed up :lol:


EcC Mem can work in non Ecc boards, obviously with no Ecc

Motherboard features 865PE chipset which wouldn't have the ECC function.
