Standard RDRAM modules are 16-bit, including all PC800 and PC1066. The fastest PC1066 seems to be the Kingston PC1066, which is rated at 32ns (good for up to PC1200 speed).

If it's for a server and it's important the data gets through with less errors, then yea maybe get ECC. Otherwise for normal PC use ECC is expensive, slower and generally not needed. Kingston RAM is very good quality too, good choice. Maybe 2 / 512 modules though, unless ECC doesn't come in that flavor?

You don't need ECC.
