If there are an even number of chips, you are have a non-ECC module. <BR /><BR />Have not verified this myself, and I am not positive that this is a concluding test, but I believe I have read about it somewhere. Maybe a small amount of googling could be used to verify... <BR /><BR /> Fri, 30 Jun 2006 07:31:13 GMT Karsten Breivik_1 2006-06-30T07:31:13Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/ecc-support-of-memory-device/m-p/3814827#M66395 hi,<BR /><BR />my machine's motherboard supports DDR2 ECC memory type. i checked this with the output of dmidecode.
