Blue, You are right in that the 4100 and the other low/mid end SnapOS units use non-EEC memory. The 12000 is different though, it won't use non-EEC memory. (See my notes on the 12000). The standard fitted memory for the 12000 (Smart SM572324574E03R) does have chips on both sides, 9 chips per side and is EEC.

The 12000 appears to use a substantially different mainboard to the other SnapOS servers, as it also for example takes a PCI card, drives a small LCD display and has gigabit ethernet, not to mention supporting 12 drives. When new it cost substantially more than any of the other Snap models. It doesn't seem too surprising that such a enterprise level server would require EEC memory.
