What Is Non Parity Memory?

What Is Non Parity Memory?

Filters. Memory chips that do not have a ninth bit used for parity checking. The term also implies that the memory does not use error-correcting code (ECC). See ECC memory and parity checking.

What is the meaning of non-parity?

In general, no-parity or non-parity refers to the lack of any error checking or the bit used for parity checking.

How do I know if my RAM is non-parity?

Therefore, a sure-fire way to determine of a memory module is parity or non-parity is to divide the number of chips on the module by three. If the number is evenly divisible by 3, it is a parity, or ECC module. If the number of chips is not divisible by three, the module is non-parity, or non-ECC.
