thank you very much i appreciate it


yes i tryed to do my homework took alot of googling befor i found out if my ram stick installed already was ECC or Non ECC i mean everest which is what looked like a good way to get information about whats in my pc just said that the current ram installed has no error detection method and still wasnt sure if its ecc or non ecc unless that in itself automaticly means its non ECC, but i assume it isnt hopefully i purchased the right ram,

i think in future its best to build my own pc vs buying one from the store so i know exactly what can and is inside of it

:)

if you know any software that gives even more information like if the ram is ecc or non ecc i would appreciate it also thank you

and thank you again for your help

:)
