ECC is an error checking method on some types of ram these tend to be more reliable as all data/addresses are checked but most types are NON ECC.
Also you cant mix ECC and Non ECC RAM.
buffers introduce a small delay into the electrical signal, so adding buffers to a standard density module would have the effect of slowing down the signal, compared to the same low density module without buffers.
