can anyone advise a Novice like myself if there is a difference between Non-Parity PC100 SDRAM and Non ECC PC100 SDRAM?

Hiya alfieboy1973

Yes, the terms "non-parity" and "non-ECC" are both used to describe memory that does not have any error detection or correction abilities. Some people use "non-parity" for FPM and EDO memory and "non-ECC" for SDRAM and DDR memory.
