Configure it on Lenovo's website. The P50 and P70 both have ECC RAM on the Xeons.

Just can't find any confirmation on Lenovo's site. A lot of data is cached and sits on RAM for the programs I use. So like I said earlier, i'm just guessing this will help because of the following reasons.

1. All saved stored files, backups, imports and exports of other DBs never are corrupted.

2. I only get errors while working in the DBs.

3. So since it only happens live i'm wondering if some ECC would help.

Is this a good line of thinking? I'm also on an ECC kick ever since coming across photos from just 2010-2011 which had bit rot on my FreeNAS box.

But doesn't ECC detect and correct in real-time? So, it seems in theory, non-ECC memory wouldn't be the cause of actual detected errors/corruption if said errors are actually being detected before the DB files are saved/exported. Definitely not an expert or even experienced with this.
