EEC ram in a regular system?

Can you use EEC (server) ram on a regular motherboard and system?

ECC I meant of course

Dont think you can, not the ECC ram Ive come across in the past.

It may work without actually using the error correction, depending on the motherboard. Pretty unlikely though, and motherboards that support ecc are pretty rare and expensive. It would probably have to be unbuffered as well. Buffered ram wouldn't work.

Right, that answered my question, thanks bud - it was buffered stuff
