Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Is ECC woth the money for a home server? It will be running a few lightly visited web sites. I understand what ECC does, but what I don't have a clue is how often errors would occur under normal circustance which would be trapped by ECC. As long as I keep the case cooled properly why would there be memory errors? Any recommendation on ECC motherboards? So far I have only seen some Tyan mobos listed with ECC.
