ive got a gig of registered ecc memory that has been "acting up" lately. Switching the dimms has solved most of my problems, but I've also come into some matching NON ecc memory. same mghz and type. will it ruin my ecc properties if I drop in an extra half gig?
Is there a way I can reliably record this new memory addition's hit on my performance?
will there even be one?

you cannot run ecc and non-ecc ram at the same time typically. you may be able to run ecc in one channel and non-ecc in another, but I doubt you'd want to.

Sisoft Sandra.

Run the memory bandwidth test before and after

I would think ECC would be slower than non-ECC of otherwise similar specs.

I would also think I could google that to see if im right or not.

but I wont because i am lazy.

ECC is most def. slower

that extra clock cycle is a bitch

y'all should know by now, size doesn't matter.

persistence and access speed is key.

^ is that what she told you?

no. not really. she just stares blankly at the ceiling, mostly.
