ECC can prevent program crashes, but it can also prevent computation of incorrect results.  Even if your memory is basically reliable, cosmic rays still can flip bits. As RAM sizes go up and up, your chances of seeing a memory error increase.<p>My point, mainly, if we&#x27;re talking about costs and power consumption, it isn&#x27;t quite fair to compare server-grade hardware (which is more expensive than consumer-grade) with a RP2.
