>>What's ECC ECC stands for Error Checking and Correction. It is available in 16,32,64,128 MB sizes at least. Here is a site that has these sizes. I don't know anything about this site, just using it for example. I don't know anything about performance of ECC RAM. I believe its function is error related rather than speed. tritechgroup.com If you chose the right motherboard you will be able to remove the CPU and replace it with a faster one at a later date if it becomes necessary. Also if you pay attention to the number of RAM slots on the motherboard you will be able to add more RAM. If there are four DIMM slots you would be able to start with 64 MB in one slot and then add 64MB later on and still have two more slots for future expansion. You can upgrade Dell and Gateway computers but you will not have as many options as you would have if you opt for an open architecture machine. We are using the term "assemble" for those who will physically put one of these things together. We are "building" these machines on paper at the moment. There are several places that will assemble a custom configuration for you. I still go back and forth as to whether or not I will assemble this thing myself. Regards Zeuspaul
