Hi, I'm planning to by a GigaByte GA-8IHXP MoBo but I'm uncertation whether it supports Kingston's ECC(KVR1066X18-...) memory?
The user manual says:
!Configurable optional ECC operation
$ ECC with single bit Error Correction and multiple bit Error Detection
$ Single bit errors corrected and written back to memory (auto-scrubbing)
$ Parity mode not supported
And kingston.com(http://www.kingston.com/newtech/rambusarch.asp) says:
Built-in ECC Parity support
Unlike other memory technologies, Rambus implements ECC parity checking within special ECC RDRAMs. RIMM modules do not require an extra parity chip as do the other memory technology modules. Non-ECC or standard RDRAMs are 16-bits wide, and ECC RDRAMs are 18 bits wide, adding a parity bit for each byte (or 8 bits) of data.
It seems to me that the Mobo supports ECC but not parity checking, or?
The reason why I am asking this is that already own 2*128 PC1066 ECC Kingston memorys.
Regards
Andreas
