| 379789 | 2005-08-09 04:46:00 | This is the drawback with ECC. It's got extra chips, and it's less popular because it's expensive. It's expensive because it's not popular. :cool: | Graham L (2) | ||

It's expensive because it's not popular. :cool:Actually that is just the rambus. There was nothing in the link from drcspy that identified the ram as ECC, and a quick trip to pricespy shows the ram drcspy linked to is on a par price wise with non-ECC ram. ECC is going to cost more again. -Qyiet |
