If the box in question is only being used by 1 or 2 people and can have downtime to fix defects whenever you want, non-ECC is a consideration. That being said, if it is a box depended upon by many people and expected to be reliable I'd spend the money on 4GB of ECC from the outset. The difference being I need to put up a box and move on to other things. Having to return and muck with complaints is a counter productive waste of time that could be better spent with new projects.
