it doesn't have anything to do with what I want to do, it has to do with how often failure of RAM causes data loss. i have not had it happen once, since my first PC/XT in '87

Not that you know of. There could be a couple of bits wrong that you've never noticed.

yeah, and I'm also not storing vital scientific research or CIA records on my computer, either

like i said earlier, the vast majority of the ppl that request ECC ram, are wasting their money

though actually, back in the day, nearly all RAM was ECC, wasn't it? i think they removed it for performance gains
