In a memory ad for dimms you notice 64meg x72 for one dimm and 64meg x64 for another dimm what does the 72 tell you about the first dimm?

In: Computer Terminology, Motherboards, Computer Memory [Edit categories]

Answer:

72 shows the data path width of the DIMM listed in the ad. The 64 indicates the DIMM is non-ECC, and the 72 for the other DIMMs indicates ECC memory.
