Does the 550-a114 take ECC or non-ECC RAM?

[wnlewis]

I want to add/upgrade the RAM in my Pavilion 550-a114.

I know it must be unbuffered, but, must it be non-ECC or ECC?

Thank you.

Hi:

All HP consumer desktop PC's must use non-ECC memory.

The only PC's nowadays that might use ECC memory are servers and business workstations.

Thanks. The memorey/RAM market can make your head spin. I could figure everythign else out but not that. So, Thank you very much! wnlewis

You're very welcome.

Yes, memory selection can sure be complicated.

Speed, density, voltage, buffered, unbuffered, ECC, non-ECC...
