The ECC mode needs 8 ECC bits for 64-bit data. Each time memory is accessed; ECC bits are updated and checked by a 
special algorithm. The ECC algorithm has the ability to detect double-bit error and automatically correct single-bit error while 
parity mode can only detect single-bit error.

The EDO DRAM technology is actually very similar to FPM (Fast Page Mode). Unlike traditional FPM that tri-states the memory 
output data to start the pre-charge activity, EDO DRAM holds the memory data valid until the next memory access cycle, that is 
similar to pipeline effect and reduces one clock state.
