Hello,
I bought a while back a refurbished office PC with added graphics card, mainly for gaming. I would now want to add more RAM, as that seems to be the bottleneck in some games.
Motherboard is Fujitsu Celsius W530 with Intel Xeon processor, so EEC/non-EEc is fine, double channeling is also a thing. Here's a brochure. http://downloads.c3a.be/brochures/Fujitsu_Celsius_W530.pdf
The system came with 2x Samsung 8GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3-12800 EEC memory sticks. I'm planning to first add another 8GB stick, later when budjet allows a fourth one to 32GB. After extensively researching the net for answers, I've decided to not give a toss about double channeling for now, as it's effect in gaming seems to be almost neglible.
Question: Do I absolutely have to add pricier ECC-memory, if I don't give a toss about ram correction/double channeling? Can I add otherwise same specs, non ECC-memory (1600 mhz, DDR3, DIMM, PC3-12800), that is anyways more readily available?
