I just ran memtest86 on my machine to check everything was okay. One thing puzzled me as I didn't know what it meant -- can someone enlighten me? Displayed in the memtest86 screen is the line:
Chipset: Intel i845 (ECC : Disabled) / FSB : 99Mhz
I had a look through my BIOS and couldn't see a setting for ECC. What is it and should it be disabled, or should I go back through the BIOS and see if it can be enabled?
ECC is Error Correcting/Correction Code, and it's a special kind of RAM. AFAIK only server mainboards (can) have those. IIRC Intel have/had ECC
included in some chipsets, but it was disabled by default, and there is
no way to enable it.
