ECC type RAM:

Certain types of RAM take advantage of an additional bit in order to detect whether a data error has occurred. An extra bit is used to store information about the number of bits set to the value of one in a given string of data (typically one byte) and by examining that information at different stages of processing it is possible to detect whether the data has been corrupted or not. What is the name of that extra bit?

Compared to a non-ECC type of memory, the ECC RAM is a less expensive option and will always perform faster.
