Looking for Desktop ECC Ram

[Trogdor2012]

Hey, I have an xfx 780i motherboard, and I plan on donig some serious data backup and archiving.

I've heard that using the standard non-ecc desktop ram in my system can possibly introduce erros in the archive data, possibly rendering it useless. I haven't found any DDR2 ECC ram on the egg within my price range...All they have is a single 8GB stick that costs over $300.

I was hoping to find a 3 pack of 2GB sticks. My board only supports 8GB anyway.

Anyone have some suggestions?

newegg has plenty.

but i cant find anywhere that says that your motherboard supports ECC memory.

Neither can I, which is what I was afraid of.

I really don't want to have to buy and SR2 just to get some ECC in a system I can game and overclock with....
