jaymc Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Im going to be building a server, pretty juicy one too with 2 X quad cores and atleast 8GB of memory Question is, do i really need to be using ECC memory. I know most servers use this but its a real pain getting a compatable motherboard and the memory, specially when working to budget Would I really have much of a problem running a 4 web servers on the above spec in a VMWARE enviroment using NON-ECC What things will suffer / improve using either types Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruzaw Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi found this on MacForums, even though this is Mac it should be pretty much the same http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-157322.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuraitux Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 What do you plan on using the web servers for? Personally if you are going to be running these as app servers then i would say yes as you want to make sure data is precise and there are not errors. Desktop machines you can get away with the errors but servers not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
