One thing that the article forgot to mention is that ecc ram is slightly slower than non-ecc. Depending on what kind of box you're putting the ram in you're going to have to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages.

I skimmed the article so I didnt exactly pick the points out but it looked like it covered ECC vs NonECC pretty well.

Also doesnt ECC have another RAM chip for doing the error checking?
 
yeah, i knew that ecc had 9 chips: 1 errorchecking per 8 normals.
but didnt know y.
thx for the link.
