ECC ram VS. Non ECC ram

ECC ram VS. Non ECC ram

ECC ram VS. Non ECC ram

(OP)
anyone have any experience or knowledge about choosing ram and, more specifically, whether it's advantageous to choose ECC ram or non ECC ram.  This would be for a new system.

Thanks.

RE: ECC ram VS. Non ECC ram

BTW, your choice might be limited by which type the motherboard will accept.

RE: ECC ram VS. Non ECC ram

(OP)
thanks CBL... I've been reading a bit on google and 1)... you are correct in that the mother board needs to be compatible with ECC ram...but 2)  I get the impression that checking for parity or non parity is something that might not make that much of a difference in my world.  I keep hearing about ECC ram, didn't know much about it.... so I'm trying to learn what it's all about.

Thanks
