FC0-U61 · Question #349
You are selecting RAM for a new PC. You are very concerned about making sure errors are handled. Which of the following types of RAM should you select?
The correct answer is C. ECC RAM. For systems where memory error detection and correction are critical, Error-Correcting Code (ECC) RAM is the appropriate choice as it can automatically detect and fix most common memory corruption errors.

Why each option
For systems where memory error detection and correction are critical, Error-Correcting Code (ECC) RAM is the appropriate choice as it can automatically detect and fix most common memory corruption errors.
RamBus (RDRAM) was an older, proprietary, and expensive type of RAM known for high bandwidth but did not specifically focus on error correction beyond standard parity.
Non-parity RAM lacks any built-in error detection mechanism, meaning it cannot detect or correct memory errors.
ECC RAM (Error-Correcting Code RAM) is designed to detect and correct most common kinds of internal data corruption, making it ideal for servers and workstations where data integrity and system stability are paramount. It uses extra parity bits and specialized logic to achieve this.
Logic Parity RAM is not a recognized or standard type of RAM; parity RAM can detect errors but cannot correct them, unlike ECC RAM.
