registered ecc dimms from crucial and kingston valueram are barely more than non-registered parts... I see the 512MB kingston registered ecc ddram part for $220 from a large mailorder house. the same spec part from corsair is still $489 from the same vendor. given the headaches that result from having to debug problems/faulty dimms on a machine with 2GB of ram and the non-trivial engineering that went into getting 4 reasonably spaced ddr dimm sockets on the mainboard. I expect registered ecc dimms will be well worth it, if only so that you can rule out the memory as the culprit if you have certain kinds of issues...
