ECC and BX, ETC My question really was to the effect of enough bits. For some reason I had the impression that the parity modules (dimms or simms) had one parity bit per access unit, whatever that is (64 bits for dimms). Bigger than a byte, anyway. One is plenty to detect an error (1 bit error), and in fact I don't see any reason why there should be more. However, yes, if parity modules have 9 bits per byte, then there are plenty of bits for ECC, and the chipset can certainly carry it out.
