ECC DDR RAM

IrishSS · 06-28-2001, 01:04 AM

Looking around at getting a new system, and while looking at the available mem options for an A7M266 at crucial, I have basically two choices. $56 for 256 of normal, PC2100 RAM, or $66 for 256 of ECC Registered RAM. Worth the extra $10?

Nah, unless you're running it on a server (data integrity is mission critical), ECC is simply going to slow down the computer. Go with normal.
