And again, I'll stress that it depends on the circumstances. Running a dedicated server with ECC memory costs $$$. Is that client worth it or not? That's only something you can determine based on your circumstances.

ECC RAM is about 10% more expensive than regular. And RAM is typically 10% of total server hardware costs. Is 1% saving really worth risking it?

ECC RAM by itself might be cheap, but it goes with Xeon motherboards (1.5-2x more expensive) and Xeons (2-5x more expensive)
