non ecc and ecc memory

[jetfire]

can i mix this together ? or should i stick to one or the other as the cpus does support ecc memory and some cheap 8gb sticks on ebay.

worth a shot or a no no.

Hi there, you cannot mix ECC and non ECC memory together.

thanks ill stay away from the ecc stuff then

You also can't use REG ECC in most (if not all) desktop boards and processors.

I would expect this is REG ECC which is only good for servers (not even all of them xeon E3s use unbuffered ECC).

+1 10600R won't work in most boards
I've mixed 10600E and 10600U memory before just fine though its dependent on the motherboard.

it is a tyan s7010 with 2 6000s cpus and 24gb 12 2gb stick of normal ddr3 1333

That would support REG ECC and UDIMMS separately. I am not sure about mixing REG ECC with UDIMMs however.

I dont any server or board that supports both U and R mixed, generally they take both but one or the other not mixed.
