ECC RAM and Windows Vista

[itneal2277]

I'm thinking about upgrading my system soon but I want it to be fully compatible with Windows Vista. I remember reading that Microsoft was recommending using ECC RAM in all Vista based systems to ensure stability with its new power management features. Since then I haven't seen any more discussion on the subject. Also, the current motherboards that will support Core 2 Duo don't appear to support ECC either. Did Microsoft decide ECC wasn't necessary or will I be kicking myself for not buying a motherboard with ECC support? :?: :roll: :?:

I've been using Vista since the day MS made it publically available and I haven't noticed any issues not using ECC RAM.

*Shrug*

ECC RAM is much more expensive than regular RAM and so are the motherboards that support it.
