RDRAM- Non ECC vs. ECC

[papawealey]

Does anyone know if I can mix two sticks of non-ECC RDRAM with the two sticks of ECC RDRAM existing?

Its generally a good idea to not mix ram. But in this example, I believe the ECC ram will convert/revert to Non ECC.

Thanks.

Since RDRAM prices are falling like stones, I'm gonna wait a little longer..

Hi!

I asked a similar question once and most peaople say ECC RAM is a bit slower and should only be used on mission-critical computers. But I guess its just a matter of preference for some people.
