[PLUG] [OT] question - was(Re: PC2 3200R ECC RAM - Help Bill, please!)

[Bill Ensley]

Laymans answer:

Technically it's called ECC Ram or Error Correcting Ram

There is a 9th chip on the stick that keeps the other 8 in line.

I'm sure someone else here will give a more technical answer, but that's 
all i've got.

Thanks
