seriously?     where did you EVER get this from?

any server thats storing data which is even remotely important, not 
having ECC means that soft bit errors go undetected, leading to VERY 
hard to detect data corruption.  and the more memory you have, the 
higher the frequency of soft bit errors.

sure, you need to get the correct spec memory, you can't mix and match 
random parts....     no different than anything else, from spark plugs 
or tires for your car to clothes .     go ahead, try and put volvo 940 
spark plugs in your mercedes 300te, see how well /that/ works.   and I 
really can't get into my son's "M" t-shirts anymore, being that i'm 
kinda XL.
