Re: [H] Mixing Ram ECC and non-ECC 168pin on a computer

Depends on if the stick is registered (buffered) or not. Most ECC sticks are 
also registered. That won't mix with the "standard" unbuffered memory.

Trying to help a friend out that has an old Presario - It uses 168-Pin
SDRam.
I have a 128 meg stick of ECC -  Obviously they are currently using 
non-ECC.
They have an empty slot.

Will the bios just ignore the extra bits or will this cause a problem?
thanks
