According to that page, the maximum amount of RAM is half (!?) if I use ECC.



Maximum amount of memory : 2.0 GB (ECC)/4.0 GB (non-ECC)



The computer is a Dell Precision Workstation 650.



How can that be right?

This group deals with oscilloscopes, wave soldering equipment, automated test equipment--that sort of thing.

Questions about general-purpose computers should go in groups with *comp* in their names.

Questions about computer hardware should go in groups with *hardware* in their names.

As you are already at Google, it would be a good idea to learn how to use their search engine.
