I guess it depends on how you define parity dimms. Before ECC, parity simms usually mean odd/even bit parity (single bit). Now the parity dimms are actually multi-bits so it is no doubt capable to handle error-correction. No Andy. Parity simms were the same way single bit per byte not per word or double word. No Difference. *Now the next question, so what the difference between the parity dimm and ECC dimm? Or are we really talking about the same thing?* I beleive they are wired differently. The memory gods are on vacation today. will get an answer on monday... Sean
