ECC or non-parity DDRam?

[EnoonEcalpon]

I use my machine for playing online games. AC/EQ/soontobe DAoC. Is it better to go with non-parity DDRam because it's not checking for errors? Or should I go for ECC because error checking is a good thing for online games?

You don't need ECC. Why spend the money?

That was kinda my question I guess ECC in your opinion would be a waste of money for an online gaming computer?

not only ecc is useless it will also decrease overall system performance by 2%. The performance hit quote directly from crucial website faq

If you're running a mission critical server that can't afford the risk of memory errors then it's worth the 2% hit. You're not so it's not.
