I want to add some new RAM to my computer. I currenlty have 256M of RDRAM. I own a Dell 8200. The computer has 4 RIMM Memory slots. 2 are taken by 128M of RAM PC 800. I believe that Rambus memory has to added in pairs. Is that true?

I ran across a term while looking for memory that I'm not familiar with. The term is ECC or Non ECC. What does that mean and do I have to find out what kind of memory I have before I upgrade? I'm having difficulty finding RDRAM. Neither Crucial nor Kinston have it. Can anyone recommend where I can buy it?
Thanks,
Glad
