To ECC Or Not To ECC? 46
MetaHiro asks: "I'm going to be upgrading my system in a couple of weeks. I've been looking around the net for reviews and/or benchmarks for ECC vs. non-ECC in both speed and whether or not it's worth it to shell out the extra bucks for ECC. I'm also wondering whether or not i should buy PC2100 ECC instead of PC 2700 non-ECC ram or wait until PC2700 ECC becomes available."
ECC where useful / speed compromise (Score:2, Insightful)
ECC in the old PC133 PC100 etc style memory changed the minimum number of wait states you can have (CAS3 instead of CAS2).
