Thank you. Any observations on whether the CPU performs worse? It's a widely circulated meme that AMD CPUs hugely benefit from as fast a RAM as you can put in, whereas ECC is a bit slower.
- dfox 5y agoECC is not inherently slower. Registered modules are slower (by the added latency of the register). ECC-or-not and registered-or-not are two orthogonal features of the DIMM and in theory all four combinations are possible. On the other hand non-registered ECC is somewhat rare (and for some reason often ridiculously expensive) and registered non-ECC probably is not manufactured at all (it does not make much sense).
- pdimitar 5y agoI see. So I should chase the fastest unregistered ECC modules I can find then? I'll do that when the time comes.
