690 1k memory

As i build this system along which way would you guys recommend i go with the ram? I'm thinking of 8 gig's to begin with but should i be using non-ecc unbuffered ram *or* ecc buffered ram?
 
I think you can use either but what's best for the workstations?
 
Thanks again!

    Titon4,


    the 690 uses fully buffered (FBD) ECC memory. If you are going to use the memory risers, then the memory needs to have heat shields as well.

    It supports PC2-4200F 533 MHz or PC2-5300F 667 MHz FBD-DDR2 SD-RAM.

    Will the machine function with non ECC unbuffered memory? Or does it require the ECC. It's not being used as a server but a stand alone workstation.

    The online documentation ( here) only mentions ECC memory.

    Also, when you use the Crucial memory configurator it shows you only ECC memory for this system as well (see here).

    Based on that information, I'd say it only supports ECC memory.
