Do you run your iMac 24/7/365 and have customer data on with such data being frequently accessed?
ECC exists to prevent data corruption so that you don't have to restart your server.
Since I imagine you restart you iMac near daily, not having ECC isn't a problem.
- cmer 14y agoI actually never restart my iMac. Once every 3-4 months I'd say. And not because it crashed, because I need to for software updates.
- sciurus 14y agoThe value of ECC memory has little to do with how long your computer runs or how frequently data is accessed. Restarting a computer won't prevent the problems that ECC corrects. ECC memory is designed to detect and repair memory corruption caused by electrical/magnetic interference or problems with the memory hardware.
