I think the hypothetical gamers from your post would be wrong. AFAIK ECC should, at most, add an insignificant amount of latency into the memory controller. It doesn't add any to the actual memory transactions because the extra bits move in parallel. Registered memory will add latency, but that's a different technology that just tends to be paired with ECC.
- bayindirh 4y agoYou may be right. I did no latency comparisons for these systems. As long as the ECC is handled in the memory controller and not offloaded to the CPU, it will be completely transparent to everything on the platform sans the machine check subsystem, which will log and report these errors in the first place.
