Having just read the latest THG article on Vista (http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/02/06/ecc_for_vista/) The discussion was based quite heavily on the use of ECC (Error Checking and Correction) RAM.

I've never really looked to far into ECC before, I always just looked for new low latency, reliable branded DDR400 RAM and bought it. (2Gb Corsair in my rig).

I was just wondering what other peoples opinions on this front of running high quality ECC over high-quality non-ECC ram.

Most motherboards made do not support ECC.

Opteron 2xx and 8xx CPUs and boards require REG ECC.

AMD64 939 CPUs including Opteron 1xx models use unbuffered non-ECC DDR SDRAM.
