You can't mix them.
Hi,
I've got an iMac 450 DV+ with a non ECC SDRAM module in it. Can I add an ECC SDRAM module to use together with the non ECC one? Or Do I have to uset either type rather than mixing them?
TIA

I don't think that the iMac 450 DV+ supports ECC RAM, so in addition to not mixing them, I would stick with standard non-ECC SDRAM modules.

So how can I tell if it does or not? If I install it and it works, do we consider ECC supported by the iMac?

I tried to put in the 512 MB SDRAM ECC in my iMac 450 DV+ and the thing didn't even boot. So now we know....
