ECC is really just for servers or really important computers where data integrity is critical, for overclocking you want non ECC for sure.

another thing rdram sucks for overclocking. if u wana overclock alot u might wana think about getting ddr ram. it handles overclocking much better. unless u can find some nice Ghz rdram

Army man, where is your information comming from? The highest overclocked P4's are on either Abit TH7II boards or Asus P4TE. Both boards run rambus. Just because you hear something stupid like that doesnt mean you have to believe it.

Yes, most of the time you have to drop the multiplier, but even at a lower multiplier it still performs better than any DDR I have seen.

I am also getting the P4T-E mobo so i decided to go 512 instead of 256- so 16 device is better than 8 device right? btw- what is the difference?

Rambus is MUCH better than DDR for overclocking.
