A few questions

What would be better on a server: ECC or Registered memory?
Has anyone thought of SAM, Static Access Memory? A set of memory to use only for launching Windows? Maybe incorporate it into the motherboard with BGA modules?

ECC (error correction code) is the same thing as registered memory. Static access memory, if you're interested, is actually the memory used in the Game Cube. As for launching Windows from memory, a quick registry tweak in 2000 or XP allows you to load Windows completely into memory.

How?

I don't recall the specific registry key to edit. However, I know that this information is available at Regedit.com.

OK, thanks.

I don't think ECC is the same as registered, RDRAM can be ECC but isn't registered, I think Ive seen the same with some SDRAM. I don't know, that might be a result of the difference inherent with the architecture of RDRAM, and I might just be ignorant as far as the SDRAM is concerned

I would think for a server, the more fault tolerance you can get, the better.

Edit: All of the DDR Ive seen is both ECC and registered
