Why use ECC memory?
ECC means “error correction code”. A server that is expected to process data reliably 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, should use ECC memory. ECC memory automatically corrects single-bit errors, so that the server can continue operation uninterrupted. Our use of ECC memory follows industry practice in the area of high-quality, reliable computer systems. It eliminates one possible cause of mysterious data corruption and machine crashes. “The PC Guide” has a useful discussion on memory errors.
