Hi,
I am in the process of spec'ing a workstation for processing human FASTQ resequencing data from GAII and MiSeq analysers. All pipelines will be alignment to reference genome and variant calling only (no denovo assembly). I think I'll be looking in the region of 32 GB memory.
I've been looking at some of the Dell workstations, which all seem to use ECC ram as far as I can see. I understand that ECC ram produces less errors, but on the other hand is MUCH more expensive than non-ECC ram. Would it be a problem to not use non-ECC memory to reduce the cost ?
Thanks,
Chris
