Hi Harry,

1. Use only a 64-bit processor for your ZFS unit.

2. ECC RAM requires a compatible motherboard/chipset/processor. It is not a 'simple' \
investment...its a serious one in considered your overall hardware components. It is \
not a critical must-have-it concern for home use (IMHO), but if you get it then best \
make sure your hardware is using it properly and supports it if this is your more \
serious work/SOHO NAS unit.

Good luck!
