To All : The ECC discussion was very interesting as I had never considered it that way! I willl be buying ECC memory for my home machine!!
You have to make sure your mainboard, chipset and/or CPU support it, otherwise any ECC modules will just work like regular modules.
The mainboard needs to have the necessary lanes to either the chipset that supports ECC (in case of Intel) or the CPU (in case of AMD).
I think all Xeon chipsets do ECC, as do various consumer ones (I only know of X38/X48, there's also some 9xx ones that do). For consumer boards, it's hard to figure out which actually do support it. I have an X48-DQ6 mainboard from Gigabyte, which does it.
