[CUBE] ECC when it come to memory

[Steve Goldstein]

Error Correcting something-or-other [Code (?)]

It uses an extra parity bit to check and correct the bytes.

I do not think that Macs use ECC chips.  So, you do not heed the 
extra expense.  You can call the friendly folks at 
http://www.datamem.com/ for more detailed explanations.  Their site 
also lists memory needs for any device or CPU that you have in mind 
(for example, I got extra memory for my HP 2500 Color Laser Printer 
there).
