Andy,

The ECC is block error correction. Don't think of it as a bit for every byte as with parity. Think of it as 8 Bits for 64 Bits. This block code can correct 1 bit error and detect 1-4 Bit errors. The bits don't have to be byte addressable as the code is computed for the entire double-word (64 bits).

I can't guarantee thats how intel does it but the algorithm is common and we use in our products on 64 bit memory interfaces.

Here some general info....

I have a reference to the actual circuitry at work but not handy.
