ECC devices integrate circuitry that can test and modify data as it passes through the memory. Unlike standard memory, the technology is able to detect and correct single-bit errors

Microsoft recomend that use of ECC will improve stability of VISTA
but ECC memory is higher priced,slower(~3%) and as easy to find and buy.

microsoft claims that low quality memory is responsible for a lot of the crashehs we get in the OS .

I'm sure that low quality programming is responsible for an even larger percentage of the crashes though.
