what is non-ecc means? is it good or bad?

ECC is error correction code, ECC ram has special circuitry to correct errors as it passes in and out of the ram, it generally costs more. You will be fine with Non-ECC memory.

what does unbuffered mean ? is it good or bad?

Unbuffered basically means that the chipset deals with the ram directly, there is nothing inbetween. Most computers use this type, so its good.

Input Voltage: 1.8 V is this ok?

Yes

240-pin DIMM ? what does pin dimm means? how much is good ?

240 pin is how many pins there are on the ram stick itself (the little gold things). DIMM means Dual Inline Memory Module, basically it has seperate signals to each side of the RAM module. As for pin count whatever your computer takes is good.

Hope some of this helped.
