"ECC" means there are extra bits that, with small amount of errors, allow to recalculate the initial value. If you're getting error messages with ECC errors, that means that your RAM really looses its contents. You should fix your machine. (Check that eg. timings are correct with RAM's specification, ...) You're on risk. Really. MfG, JBG -- Jan-Benedict Glaw [email protected] +49-172-7608481 Signature of: Eine Freie Meinung in einem Freien Kopf the second : für einen Freien Staat voll Freier Bürger.
