As data are written into memory, ECC circuitry generates checksums from the binary sequences in the bytes and stores them in an additional seven bits of memory for 32-bit data paths or eight bits ...
Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps to protect your system from data corruption. Data errors on RAM are fairly uncommon and you won't likely encounter one ...
The ninth bit is a parity bit for detecting errors. See ECC memory and RDIMM. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires permission.
