Jim - Without becoming too technical and wasting bandwidth, these two web
sites explain what  Error Correcting Code Ram (ECC Ram) is and how it
differs from non-ECC ram.  In the older days, it simply  meant  the
differences between parity vs. non-parity ram chips.  Check out Ram and
Parity Issues,   http://www.cbproserv.com/ramparit.htm  and  HelpNet,
http://www.helpnet.com.au/hardware/ecc.html.    Tom's Hardware Guide,
http://www.tomshardware.com  is another invaluable website for further info.
HTH.  :-)
