Checking RAM ECC OR NON-ECC
Is there a utility available that will check DDR RAM to see if it is
ECC or Non-ECC? Or is there any way to look at the RAM Stick and find out this information? Thanks.

The BIOS is your best bet. ...isn't it also true that if your stick of RAM has an odd number of chips then it is ECC (5, 7, 9, etc)? ...or is this not always true? -- "I don't cheat to survive.
