Error correction on RAM

swiss

I've my eye on this tasty little RAM addition to my motherboard

However, a friend of mine had difficulty when he bought non-error correcting generic RAM online. A couple of months later the RAM refused to run, and he spent several days swearing at his system until he figured that it was due to the lack of error correction on the RAM.

Now, I can't think of many uses for a stick of RAM outside of making your system run faster, so I would rather it actually worked in that capacity. Does anybody have any other experience of faulty RAM, or has the RAM on komplett's site have a warantee of any description?

erm, the stick refused to run anymore because it was dead, not because of a lack of ecc.

I've had perfectly working sticks of ram go on me, also seen brand new ram fail to work. Very annoying, because you expect ram to be one of the last things to fail.
